Zip® Tips

Here are a few tips you'll want to keep in mind to care for your Zip® drive and disks!

  • Always make sure the power supply is connected to the drive before inserting a Zip® disk.

CAUTION! If a disk is inserted without the power supply connected, and power is then applied, it could damage the drive.

  • Never force a Zip® disk into or out of the drive.

  • Never use ordinary 3.5" floppy diskettes or floppy head-cleaning disks in your Zip® drive. They will cause severe damage to the drive.

CAUTION! Never put anything into your Zip® drive except genuine Zip disks with the genuine Zip symbol. Using disks that do not have this symbol may cause damage to your drive or loss of data.

  • It is a good idea to store the Zip® disk in its case when not in use or when you are transporting your Zip drive.

  • Avoid exposing Zip® disks to dust, direct sunlight, high temperature, moisture, or magnetic fields, from items such as monitors and some speakers.
