Chapter 8 - Using the Courier file system
Courier User Handbook 8-7
8.2.1. Formatting a disk
Formatting the disk over-writes the file allocation table (FAT) of the disk and
destroys all cuts and files on the disk
. Flash cards need to be formatted before they
can be used, but you can record on a hard disk without initially formatting it - they
are usually pre-formatted. Otherwise, formatting should only be undertaken once
you have transferred your files to another medium and wish to “clean” the disk.
There are two parts of the menu structure where the [Format Disk] command can
be carried out. The first is in the main menu in the
Cut-List Mode
, but it only
appears if the Show Format option has been enabled in the [Setup], [Display]
menu.
The second place where the Format Disk command appears is in
the Cut-List
Mode
, if you press the MENU button and select [Setup], [Filing] and then [Format
Disk] :
Select [Yes] to format the disk and [No] to return to the
Cut-List Mode
.
8.2.2. Show format command in the main
Cut-
List Mode
menu
This option has been enabled so that you can allow/disallow the [Format Disk]
command in the main menu of the Courier, i.e. before the password protected
[Setup] menu option.
If your users of the Courier are competent and unlikely to use the [Format Disk]
command rashly, then it would be wise to allow access to this command. If your
Courier users are not familiar with computer technology and could wipe out a
disk’s contents unknowingly, then it might be prudent to disallow the [Format Disk]
command from the main menu, so that you can password protect access to it.
In the Cut-List Mode, press the MENU button and select [Setup], [Display] and
[Show Format] :
