Appendix C

Inserting a Zip disk

Follow these instructions to insert a Zip disk into the Zip drive.

1

Turn on your Macintosh.

2

Gently insert the disk into the drive.

In a moment, an icon for the Zip disk appears on your screen. You can store
and copy files to and from the Zip drive using the same methods you use for
other drives on your system.

IMPORTANT

Never force a Zip disk into or out of the drive, or use either

ordinary 3.5-inch disks or floppy head-cleaning disks in your Zip drive. They
will damage it.

If the icon for the Zip disk does not appear on your screen, refer to the
troubleshooting information in the online manuals and online help located in
the Iomega Tools folder on the CD-ROM disc that came with your computer.
(You may need to reinstall the Iomega Driver.)

Insert the Zip disk, metal end first,
into the Zip drive of your computer.

The Zip disk is properly seated in the drive when
the end of the disk is flush with the drive opening.
