308 Chapter 7. DISK MODE
• The Save operation saves data from internal memory to
floppy disk.
• Select one of five types of data to be saved. For details on
the different file types, refer to “Types of file used by the
QY700.” (→ p.304)
• The “DISK INFORMATION” area located in the lower right
of the screen shows the total number of files on the floppy
disk, the total size of all files, and the free area on the disk.
The area below this shows the number of files of the se-
lected type that are on the floppy disk, and the total size.
Refer to this information when saving your data.
• Before a floppy disk can be used to save data, it must first
be formatted. (→ p.316)
• If the size of the data to be saved is greater than the free
area of the floppy disk, a message of “Disk Full” will ap-
pear. If this occurs, delete unwanted files from the disk, and
try the Save operation once again.
• Be careful that you do not accidentally delete impor-
tant data from the disk.
