About Floppy Disks - Brother ULT-2001 Operation Manual

About Floppy Disks

• If your machine did not come furnished with a built-in floppy disk drive, you can receive an
upgrade service for your machine, so that it can use floppy disks at your authorized dealer.
• If floppy disks containing data other than that created for this machine, or patterns saved
from your machine, are inserted into your machine, the machine may not operate correctly.
• Only insert or remove floppy disks when
change disks by the screen (see page 5-18).
• Data saved on floppy disks may be lost or sometimes corrupted. Always make a backup of
any important data saved on floppy disks.
• If the head of the floppy disk becomes dirty, the data can not be read normally. Use a
cleaning disk for floppy disks regularly to avoid problems (see page 8-4). Be sure to follow
the drive cleaning instructions on the package.
• Do not leave floppy disks where bits of thread or lint are likely to collect. These things may
damage the disks. Put the disks in the hard case when storing.
• Do not leave floppy disks near the TV, magnets, or other objects with magnetic properties.
Otherwise, the data on the disk may become unreadable.
• Floppy disks are 2HD type. Be sure to use formatted disks.
• Move the write protect switch on the floppy disk to the unprotected position before using
the disk.
• Only use letters and numbers for the file names of the embroidery data. Using special
symbols may prevent the data from being saved.
