When using the disk eject button, push
gently. Do not use force! The green busy
light blinks as the disk "spins down" and
the drive takes a few seconds to eject the
Zip disk. Never force a disk into or out of
the Zip drive.
Emergency Disk Eject
Your LifeBook 200 Series notebook must be
powered on for normal disk ejection from the
Zip drive. Never use force to remove a disk
from the Zip drive. If you must remove a Zip
disk from the drive when power is not available,
carefully push a straightened paper clip into the
emergency eject hole located on the eject but-
ton. Use care when using this method as exces-
sive force or a bent paper clip may cause dam-
age to your Zip drive.
