Format
Setting up commercially available floppy disks for use with PSR-740/640 is called
formatting.
This function is useful for quickly deleting unnecessary files from an already formatted
disk.
Be careful when using this operation, since it automatically deletes all data on
the disk.
•
After formatting, the capacity
of a 2HD disk is 1 MB, and
that of a 2DD disk is 720 KB.
1
Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive.
When a (new) blank disk or an incompatible disk is inserted an alert message
will be displayed on the screen. In this case, press the
[EXIT]
button to show
“OK to format the disk?” and then simply follow the procedure 5 below.
2
Press the [UTILITY] button.
•
When the floppy disk’s write-
protect tab is set to ON (see
page 66) or the disk is a

While formatting is in
progress, never eject the
disk or turn off the power
to the PSR-740/640.
•
If a disk that cannot be
read by the PSR-740/640 is
inserted into the disk
drive, it will be treated the
same as an unformatted
floppy disk. Take care not
to erase important data by
accidentally formatting a
disk.
