Diskettes
This word processor accepts only the following types of 3.5-inch diskettes:
MF-2DD (Double Sided/Double Density/Double Track)
MF-2HD (Double Sided/High Density/Double Track)
NOTE:
Your word processor recognizes both the “2DD” and “2HD’’ type diskettes. It will
format the “2DD” diskettes to a DOS 720KB format and the “2HD” diskettes to a
DOS 1.44 MB format. It is recommended that you use Brother brand diskettes.
Inserting and Removing a Diskette
Insert the diskette as shown in the illustration.
To remove the diskette, press the eject button.
CAUTION — The diskette may be inserted and
removed when the power is either on or off. It
may also be left in the drive while transporting the
word processor. However, you should never
insert or remove it while a message indicates
that a diskette operation is in progress.
Caring for Your Diskettes
The sensitive material where the data is actually stored is very similar to the
magnetic material used to make common cassette tapes. When a tape is damaged,
this results in terrible background noises, but you can still hear some music. The
slightest damage, such as a scratch, or a small amount of dust on the sensitive
material, however, can easily spoil an entire file and make it unusable. The protective
case of the 3.5-inch diskettes protects the sensitive disk surface. (The metallic
shutter automatically opens and exposes this sensitive surface only when the
diskette is inserted into the drive.) Additional precautions must be taken in order to
ensure reliable maintenance of your files.
