Your Brother Word Processor can only read 720K or 1.44M DOS formatted
diskettes. Be sure the ASCII file created on your personal computer is
saved on this type of diskette.
When you save an ASCII file on diskette using your personal computer, be
sure to save the file in the root directory of the diskette. Your Brother word
processor cannot access sub-directories of a diskette.
Also, be sure to add the extension “.TXT’ to the file name of any ASCII file
created on your personal computer so that your Brother word processor
can identify the file as an ASCII file
