5.4 Use of the Floppy Disk
For information regarding the method used for setting the floppy disk and the method
of floppy disk drive operation, please refer to the Operation Manual for model
MZ-IF02.
It
should be remembered that a master disk should be handled and
used
very carefully.
Moreover, because Sharp optional floppy disks are not initialized, please initialize them
by a utility program before use.
Notes regarding the use of floppy disks are not initialized; please initialize them by a
utility program before use.
Notes regarding the use of floppy disks
• If fingerprints get on the floppy disk through the head window, read-out and
write-in will become impossible. Take the utmost care not to allow the surface of
the floppy disk to become marked, stained, dirtied or defaced in any way!
• Storage temperature conditions (around the floppy disk): 4°C - 53°C (39°F
127°F)
The jacket will become deformed if the temperature exceeds 53°C (127°F). Please
take care not to expose the floppy disk to direct sunlight for a long time and not to
place it in an environment where the temperature is apt to exceed 53°C (127°F).
When the floppy disk is used, please use it within the temperature range prescribed
on the protection sleeve. Moreover, because the environmental conditions of the
place of use differ from those of the place of storage, it is suggested that, before
use, the floppy disk be placed for a short time in conditions corresponding to those
of the place of use.

• When inserting the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive, insert it straight, gently,
and all the way until it stop~. Then move the front door lever to the horizontal
position. Rough handling will damage the floppy disk.
• Do not bend or fold the floppy disk, If the jacket becomes deformed, read-out and
write-in will become impossible.
