HANDLING FLOPPY DISK
Data and program for this machine, basically managed by PT, are saved to and
loaded from a floppy disk. This section describes the protection and handling
of such floppy disks.
Only 3.5 inch 2DD floppy disks can be used for this machine. 2HD disks cannot be
used.
1
Backing up the Data and Program
A floppy disk is a compact and light weighted data storage medium convenient for storage and
transport, but data may be erased or may not be loaded by improper handling.
Make sure to back-up the program and data on a disk to protect against the loss of data. To back-
up the program and data, make another copy disk of the same contents.
∗ See the disk copy in the section of file operation for how to back up.

Write Protection
The stored data may be mechanically protected from accidental erasure or rewriting.
• Write protection may be set or disabled by sliding the write protect tab located at the lower part of
the floppy disk with a ball pen tip, etc.
