Basic functions
When handling floppy disks, please observe the fol-
lowing points. Data loss may occur if a floppy disk is
handled improperly.
Floppy disk type and format
The TRITON can use 2HD or 2DD 3.5 inch floppy
disks.
Floppy disk handling
• Do not open the shutter of a floppy disk or touch
the magnetic surface inside the disk. If the
magnetic disk becomes soiled or scratched, it will
no longer be possible to read data.
• Never transport the TRITON with a floppy disk in
the disk drive. Vibration may cause the disk drive
heads to scratch the floppy disk, making it
unusable.
• Do not allow a floppy disk to be placed near a
device that emits a magnetic field, such as a
television, computer, computer display, speaker, or
power supply transformer. This can erase data on
the disk.
• Do not use or store floppy disks in locations of
excessive temperature or humidity, in direct
sunlight, or in dusty or dirty locations.
• Do not place objects on top of a floppy disk.
• While the disk drive is operating, do not attempt to
remove the floppy disk, and do not subject the
TRITON to physical shock.
Floppy disk write protect
Floppy disks have a small write protect hole that can
be used to prevent data from being erased or rewritten
accidentally.
After saving data to disk, move the write protect tab so
that the hole is uncovered. This will prohibit writing to
the disk, and will prevent the data from being
destroyed accidentally.
Inserting a floppy disk
With the label of the floppy disk facing upward, insert
it into the disk drive. Press the disk inward until it
clicks into place.
Malfunctions will occur if you use excessive force to
insert the disk. Disks must be inserted gently, and
straight in.
Removing a floppy disk
To remove a floppy disk, first make sure that the disk
access indicator is dark. Then press the eject button
and remove the disk.
If the disk does not come out when you press this but-
ton, do not attempt to remove the disk by force. Please
contact your dealer.
Head cleaning
If the heads of the disk drive are soiled, errors may
occur during saving or loading. It is important to clean
the heads regularly using a commercially available
wet-type 3.5 inch double-sided head cleaning disk. For
the cleaning procedure, refer to the owner’s manual for
your cleaning disk.
