Labeling Diskettes
Before using a diskette, label it so that you can identify
the data stored on it. Labels usually come in the package
with the diskettes. Diskette labels can become a problem
if you do not apply them correctly. Loose edges or an
excessive buildup of labels can prevent the diskette from
being inserted or ejected.
To prevent this problem, take the following precautions:
Ÿ
Remove an old label before you apply a new one.
Ÿ
Apply labels carefully to ensure all edges are secure.
Ÿ
Apply labels only to the front of diskettes. Do not
place a label where it interferes with the protective
slide or covers an opening in the protective diskette
case.
Ÿ
Use only a soft, felt-tip pen to write on the label.
Using a pencil or ballpoint pen can damage a
diskette.
