files from the SmartMedia (before erasing the
SmartMedia, copy any picture files you do want
to save to the PCs hard drive or to a floppy disk.)
If you want to format the SmartMedia in the
FlashPath, Select:
S t a rt -> Programs -> FlashPath -> FlashPath Form a t .
6. A write protect sticker is attached to the
SmartMedia, but the write protect status is not
recognized. Why?
The FlashPath does not recognize the write pro t e c t
status of the SmartMedia, even when a write
protect sticker is attached to it.
7. The FlashPath Status Monitor has disappeared
from the Windows
®
task bar. What should I do?
If, after displaying the FlashPath Status Monitor
window, the X (close) button is clicked without
clicking the OK button, the FlashPath Status
Monitor program terminates operation and the
icon disappears from the task bar.
To restart the FlashPath Status Monitor program,
Select:
S t a rt -> Programs -> FlashPath -> FlashPath Status.
8. How do I delete the FlashPath Status Monitor
from the Start Menu?
See your Microsoft manual to remove FlashPath
Status Monitor from the Startup Menu.
To temporarily re-activate the FlashPath Status
Monitor, select:
S t a rt -> Programs -> FlashPath -> FlashPath Status.
9. Why is the FlashPath’s data writing speed slower
than the data reading speed?
Unlike ordinary floppy disks, the FlashPath
exchanges data with the SmartMedia while
communicating with the driver software and
FlashPath hardware.
As a result, performance is not the same for data
read and write. It takes about twice as long to
write data as to read it. This is not a malfunction.
