Formatting a New Floppy Disk
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 use
only 3.5" 2DD floppy disks. Before you can use a new disk for saving
data, the disk must be “formatted” as described below.
Z
Insert the Disk To Be Formatted
...........................................................................................................
NOTES
• If an unformatted disk is already in the drive and the format operation
was cancelled prior to execution, press the [FORMAT] button to re-
engage the format function.
• The [FORMAT] button can also be used when you want to re-format a
formatted disk - to erase all the data it contains, for example.
• “Unformatted Disk” will appear on the display if an unformatted write-
protected disk is loaded. Make sure the disk’s write protect tab is in
the write position before formatting.
X
Confirm and Format
...............................................................................................................................
Press the
[YES]
button to confirm and execute the format operation (or
press
[NO]
to cancel). Formatting an entire disk takes a few seconds, and
the progress of the operation is shown on the LCD display panel in percent
formatted: “0%” through “100%”. When the disk has been 100% formatted
the format function will be automatically disengaged.
Insert a new blank disk. Make sure that the disk’s write protect tab is set
to the “write” position (tab closed), and insert the new disk into the disk
drive unit with the sliding door facing the drive slot and the label side of the
disk facing upward. The disk should click securely into place.
When an unformatted disk is properly loaded, “Format?” will appear on
the LCD display panel, the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will flash and the
PSR-1700/PSR-2700 will ask “Are you sure?”.

want to keep. The format operation erases all data on the floppy
disk!
• The “Format?” display will also appear if you insert a disk that has
been formatted on a piece of equipment other than the PSR-1700 or
PSR-2700.
ARE YOU SURE ?

NO
CAUTION
•
Never remove the disk or turn the power off while the “Format-
ting” display is showing.
