Image Center Tips
Working with the Zip
®
Drive
Here are a few tips you’ll want to keep in mind to care for your FotoShow
™
Digital Image
Center, disks, and digital film!
• Always make sure the power supply is connected to the FotoShow
™
Image Center
before inserting a Zip
®
disk.
CAUTION!
If a disk is inserted without the power supply connected, and power is
then applied, it could damage the drive. If you accidentally insert a disk when the
power supply is not connected, eject it using the emergency disk eject procedure,
then connect the power supply and reinsert the disk.
• Never force a Zip
®
disk in or out of the drive.
• Never use ordinary 3.5
" floppy diskettes or floppy head-cleaning disks in your Zip
®
drive. They will cause severe damage to the drive.
CAUTION!
Never put anything into your Zip
®
drive except genuine 250MB or 100MB
Zip disks. Using disks that do not have these symbols may cause damage to your
drive or loss of data:
• For best results, operate your FotoShow
™
Image Center on a level surface when a Zip
®
disk is inserted and in use. If you wish to set your FotoShow
™
Image Center on its
side, use the FotoShow stand that came with your FotoShow Image Center.
• Avoid exposing the FotoShow
™
Image Center, Zip
®
disks, Microdrives
™
, CompactFlash
™
cards, and SmartMedia
™
cards to dust, direct sunlight, high temperature, moisture, or
magnetic fields, such as from monitors and some speakers.
• Before disconnecting, shutting off the power, or moving your FotoShow
™
Image
Center, always remove the Zip
®
disk.
• Keep your FotoShow
™
Image Center away from speakers or other devices that
generate strong magnetic fields.
