Here’s how to get the most from your Zip drive …
Extend Your Hard Disk (hard disk upgrade alternative)
1
Are you constantly running out of hard disk space? Your Zip drive and disks give you increased storage and easy access to all your information with hard-disk-like performance.
Move Information
2
Do you need to move large amounts of information between different work locations? Between home and work? To and from clients? Your Zip disks offer complete mobility and can be moved and used anywhere you have another Zip drive. Zip disks fit in a shirt pocket, and can be easily shipped anywhere.
Back Up Your Hard Drive
3
Your Zip drive makes backups fast and simple. You don't need special backup software – just copy critical files to a Zip disk. Copying is fast, and you end up with an exact duplicate of your original files. If you need to restore a file, simply copy it back to your hard drive, or just access it directly from the Zip drive.
Create a Multimedia Library - Images, Sounds, and Video
4
Because of their high capacity, removability, and random access, Zip disks are ideal for storage-hungry image, sound, and video files. Clips can come from a variety of sources, including scanners, CD-ROMs, and video input devices. You can create and store multimedia presentations and demonstrations, including video, that you can replay directly from the Zip disk.
Archive Your Important Records
5
Do you need to keep files for a number of years? Archive your valuable files on a Zip disk and store them in a safe place. Whenever you need them, you can access them quickly.
Get Organized
6
If you work on many different projects or with many different clients, try segmenting your work onto different disks. You can organize your information by project, client, date, or whatever. Zip disks give you the capacity to get all associated files onto a single disk. Then, switching between projects and customers is as simple as inserting another Zip disk.
Secure Sensitive Files
7
To keep sensitive or confidential information safe, store it on a Zip disk and use your Zip Tools software to assign a password that must be used in order to read from or write to the disk. You can protect sensitive information such as personnel files, company directories, product plans and designs, tax records, budgets, and computerized checkbooks.

Operating Your Zip Drive
®
Use your Zip drive just like any other drive on your system. To access the Zip drive, insert a disk and select the Zip disk icon or drive letter. Store and copy files to and from the Zip drive using the same methods you use for other drives on your system.

Using Zip Drive
Disk Inserted
Always turn on power to the computer before inserting a Zip disk.
When you insert a Zip disk, the drive busy light will flash momentarily and go out. (If the light continues to blink slowly, push the disk eject button to eject the Zip disk, then reinsert it.)
When you remove the Zip disk from the drive, store it in the protective case. It is not necessary to remove the Zip disk from the drive when you shut down your computer; however, if you desire to remove the Zip disk, do so before turning off power to your computer.
CAUTION Never force a disk into or out of the Zip drive. M
Handling Zip Disks
Always store Zip disks in their protective cases when they are not inserted in your Zip drive.
