ColorSpan Legacy System Control - User Guide

External Disk Drives 2-33
When using removable disks, keep in mind the following:
◆
The removable disk drive must be a SCSI device.
◆
The parallel port version of the Iomega Zip drive is not sup-
ported by the server.
◆
If you insert a write-protected disk, System Control will eject
the disk and display a message asking you to set the write-
protect switch to the other position.
◆
If you insert an unformatted or a non-RIP Saver-formatted
disk, System Control will ask if you want it initialized and will
initialize it if you select Yes. If you choose not to initialize a
disk, System Control will eject it from the drive.
◆
Once a disk is initialized for RIP Saver use, you can continue
to save files to it, even after unloading and loading it back
into the drive (as long as enough disk space remains).
◆
To check the amount of memory left on the disk, load the
disk into the drive and open the RIP Saver queue by clicking
on the icon. A bar graph appears at the bottom of the queue
indicating the amount of disk space used and the amount
remaining.
◆
When a removable disk is in use, the drive is locked. You can-
not unload the disk mechanically or through System Control
until the disk is no longer in use.
