To Backup a Show
It is recommended that you back up your show to a floppy disk frequently. This
gives you protection against unexpected power loss and other problems causing
lost show data. The LP-3000 requires a 3½-inch disk for show backup.
1. From the Main screen, click Setup and then Show.
The LP-3000 displays the Show screen.
2. If the show that you want to back up is open, using the Show edgewheel,
select the show and then click Close Show.
The LP-3000 cannot transfer an open show to a floppy disk. Therefore, it is
necessary to first close the show before it can be backed up to a floppy disk.
Once the backup is complete, you can re-open the show and continue
working on it.
3. Using the Show edgewheel, select the show that you want to back up.
4. Insert a floppy disk into the disk drive.
5. Click Backup Show.
The LP-3000 backs up the selected show.
Backing up a show will not be successful if any of the following errors are detected:
•
The disk is bad.
•
There is insufficient space on the disk to store the entire show.
•
The disk is not formatted.
•
The disk is write-protected.
Check for and handle the error and then repeat the backup procedure.
To Load a Show from a Disk
1. From the Main screen, click Setup and then Show.
The LP-3000 displays the Show screen.
2. Click Change to Floppy Disk.
3. Using the Show edgewheel, select the show that you want to load.
4. Click Load from Disk.
If you already have a show of the same name on the LP-3000, you are
prompted to confirm overwriting the show. Click Yes to proceed.
5. Click Change to Internal Disk.
To Format a Floppy Disk
Backing up a show will fail if the disk is not formatted or if it is too full to store the
entire show.
