7 Specify the initialization format.
Quick Format: Normally you should use Quick For-
mat to initialize the media.
Select this if the media has already been physically for-
matted, or if you want to format media that has been
UDF-formatted by the TRITON Extreme.
Since only the system area of the media need be for-
matted, this will require less time.
Full Format: Select this when formatting media that
has not been physically formatted, or media (CD-RW)
that has not been UDF-formatted.
Normally, it is not necessary to perform a Full Format
on media that has been physically formatted at 512
bytes/block. Execute the Quick Format for such
media.
You will normally select Full Format for CD-RW
media etc. that has not been UDF-formatted. If an
error message of “Media not formatted” appears, exe-
cute Full Format.
Depending on the capacity of the media, executing
Full Format may require a substantial length of time.
Some USB devices don’t support the Full Format
operation. For details, refer to the owner’s manual for
your device.
8 Specify the file system.
FAT16 can format a maximum of 4 Gbyte. If you are
using media larger than 4 Gbyte, use FAT32 format to
format it.
Use FAT16 to format CompactFlash or Microdrive
media of 4 Gbytes or less.
9 Press the OK button to format, or press the Cancel
button if you decide to cancel.
When you press the OK button, a message will ask you
for confirmation. Press the OK button once again to
execute the Format operation.
You must format a CD-R/RW disc before you can use
it for packet-writing.
You do not need to format a CD-R/RW disc that you
will use to create an audio CD. If a CD-R/RW disc
has previously been used by another device, you
must format it.
You must use the TRITON Extreme to format the
media. The TRITON Extreme will not correctly recog-
nize media that has been formatted by another
device.
