Saving to Disks (Store)
Here we will explain the example of when a Zip drive
with SCSI ID number 5 is connected as an external
disk drive.
1. Make the drive (internal hard disk) containing the
song you want to copy the current drive.
2. Insert a disk into the Zip drive.
3. Press [SONG] several times until “SNG Song
Copy ?” appears in the display.
4. Press [YES].
“SNG CpyMode=” appears in the display.

“Archives.”
CpyMode

Playable: Playable type.
Archives: Archives type.
6. Press PARAMETER [ ].
“SNG ArcTarget=” appears in the display.
7. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. If you wish to
copy the current song, select “1 Song.” To copy all
songs from the current drive, select “All.”
8. Press PARAMETER [ ].
“SNG Arc.Drive=” appears in the display.
9. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. Select the copy
destination disk drive. For this operation, you will
be able to select only removable disk drives which
are connected to the SCSI connector. It is not pos-
sible to select the current drive (the internal hard
disk) as the copy destination drive. For example if
you wish to copy to a Zip disk, select “SC5:0.”
10. Press PARAMETER [ ].
“SNG Arc.Func=” appears in the display.

if not, then press [NO]. If you have selected a
demo song, then press [NO].
15. The display will ask, “You’ll Lose Data/Continue
?.” Press [YES]. If you decide to cancel the
Archives Copy operation, press [NO].
* All data saved on the Zip disk will be deleted. Do not use
any Zip disk containing song data that you need.
16. If the song holds a large amount of data, and can-
not be contained on a single Zip disk, the disk is
ejected, and the message “Please Insert Disk”
appears in the display. Insert the next disk and
press [YES]. At this time, be sure to write the disk
numbers on the labels so that you can keep track
of the order in which the disks were inserted into
the drive.
Handling of Archives Copy Disks
To save songs in archives format, the destination
disk must be initialized. This initialization proce-
dure differs from the usual Drive Initialize for-
matting (p. 111). This procedure lets you carry out
Archives Copy with newly purchased disks, disks
which previously have been used with a personal
computer or other device, or other disks which
have not been formatted with Drive Initialize.
However, any song data saved to the disk is lost
once the Archives Copy procedure is performed.
Additionally, you cannot designate a disk contain-
ing archive format songs as the current drive. If
you try to do this, the disk is identified as being
an uninitialized disk.
