• Formatting a SmartMedia card is not possible when a write-protect seal is affixed to it. (It is not possible to
format a SmartMedia card or write, move or erase data on a SmartMedia card which has a write-protect seal
affixed to it. For more details, refer to the SmartMedia card’s instruction manual.)
• Formatting erases all data in the card. All important data should be copied to a hard disk or floppy disk in
advance.
• Double-clicking the “Removable Disk” icon will display the directory and the list of image files on the inserted
card.
