Write-Protecting Diskettes - Epson Endeavor 468C User Manual

Write-protecting Diskettes

You can write-protect a diskette to prevent its data from being
altered. When a diskette is write-protected, you can read it and
copy data from it, but you cannot store new data on it or delete
any files it contains.
On a 3.5-inch diskette, the write-protect device is a small switch
on the back of the diskette in the lower right corner, shown
below. To write-protect a 3.5-inch diskette, slide the switch
toward the edge of the diskette until it clicks into position,
exposing a hole in the corner.
To remove the write protection, slide the switch toward the
center of the diskette until it clicks into position and the hole is
covered.
