3. Notes on the storage
of
diskette:
Envelope
The index label should
be
filled in before
it
is
attached
to
the jacket.
If
it
is
filled in
after
it
has
been attached
to
the
jacket,
use
a
soft-point
pen.
Do
not
use
a ball-point pen,
pencil.
Do
not
handle the diskette
or
Floppy
Disk
while
you
smoke
or
drink.
If
the diskette
is
soiled, the data
or
programs
stored on the diskette may
be
spoiled.
Never
put
a magnet near the diskette. A magnet ring
or
magnet necklace may also
affect
the stored data.
Be
sure
not
to
use
magnetic objects when the diskette
is
handled.
Any
apparatus
that
generates magnetism should
be
also kept
from
the diskette:
for
example, a
monitor
screen
of
a
computer, cassette tape recorder, home television set, etc.
When
not
in
use,
be
sure
to
keep the diskette in the
evelope. Form a
habit
of
putting
the diskette
into
the
envelope
immediately
after
it
is
taken
out
of
the drive. Such
a
habit
will
prevent nearly all the problems resulting
from
wrong diskette handling. The master diskette should
be
loaded on the
Floppy
Disk
only
when
it
is
used; and when
not
in
use,
keep
it
in the envelope.
The envelope
is
made
of
special material which works
against static
electricity,
humidity,
etc. So, make sure again
all
the
diskettes are kept in the envelopes.
For
keeping,
put
the diskette-containing envelope in the
container box, and
put
it
up in
an
erect position. Do
not
keep
it
in
an
inclined position,
or
in·
a position
that
may
make the diskette warp.
