the USB port, remove the floppy disk from the drive.
Drive Head Cleaning
To ensure optimum drive performance, clean the read/write head after every
40 to 80 hours of operation. No other maintenance is required.
Follow these guidelines:
• Operate the drive in a clean, dust-free environment
• Never apply a lubricant to the drive
The drive’s recording heads may be cleaned using a suitable head cleaning
diskette. Either wet or dry types are acceptable.
