• Before a floppy disk can be used to save data, it must first
be formatted. (page 79)
• If the size of the data to be saved is greater than the free
area of the floppy disk, a message of "Disk Full" will ap-
pear. If this occurs, delete unwanted files from the disk,
and try the Save operation once again.
• Be careful that you do not accidentally delete important
data from the disk.
• When saving a style, memory numbers for which there is
no data will be displayed as "********". If you attempt to
save such styles, a message of "No Data" will appear, and
it will not be possible to execute the Save operation.
• The disk write-protect slide must be in the write-enable
position to perform a save operation. If it is not, the "Write
Protected!" error message will appear when you attempt
to execute the save operation.
