The Disk Drive
Note!
Your typewriter can read disks that have been initialized on IBM-compatible personal
computers and other wordprocessors that use the same disk format. However, it can use
only certain types of files created on those machines.
If you ask your typewriter to use an incompatible type of file, it will give the following
warning:

Caring for Your Disks
Although 3.5-inch floppy disks are rugged and the system has incorporated in it every
reasonable precaution to prevent inadvertent erasure, accidents will happen. New disks
frequently come with cards or labels listing some of the things that can go wrong; for
example:
Mechanical damage due to heat, dust, dropping, crushing, spilled liquids, etc.
Electrical damage due to exposure to magnetic fields. These are generated, not just by
magnets, but also by electrical and electronic equipment such as loudspeakers, television
sets and computer monitors, and many other types of equipment,
DON’T
- leaye your disks lying around where they may become dirty or damaged,
- leave your disks lying on or near electrical or electronic equipment,
- open the shutter of the disk and never touch the surface directly.
- use magnetic materials near the disk.
- expose the disk to extremely high or low temperatures.
DO
Store your disks in the original manufacturer's carton or in a dustproof disk storage case.
