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 that 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.
Inserting and Removing Diskettes
To insert a 3.5-inch diskette, hold the diskette with the label facing up and insert the end
with the protective slide first. Push the diskette into the diskette drive until the diskette
clicks into place.
To remove the diskette, press the eject button and slide the diskette out of the drive. Do
not remove the diskette while the in-use light is on.
