Using the Diskette (Floppy)
Drive

The diskette drive (select models only) uses a
3.5" diskette (or floppy disk) to store files. A
diskette can hold up to 1.44 MB of data. Once
information is copied onto a diskette, it remains
until you delete or overwrite it.

■ To insert a diskette, hold it with the label facing

up and the arrow on the diskette pointing
toward the drive; then gently push the diskette
into the drive.
