3-12 Operator Guide
Managing the system
• Never place cartridges near electric motors or any other
magnetic sources that may erase data.
• To clean a cartridge, wipe off dust, dirt, and moisture with a
lint-free cloth.
• If you must use a cleaning solution, make sure it is formulated
for tape cartridges. Never allow the solution to touch the tape.
• If a leader block comes off and there is no other damage, you
can use a leader block repair kit to reattach the block. You can
then use the cartridge one more time to copy the data onto a
new cartridge.
• If a label starts to peel, replace it immediately.
• Do not write on a label that is on a cartridge. Write a new label,
remove the old one, and replace it with the new one.
• Place the two labels in the recessed areas of the cartridge as
shown below:
Figure 3-9 Placement of labels
1. Customer label on top
2. Volume/serial number label opposite side of thumbwheel
• Write on labels with markers that do not smear.
• Use only labels that leave no residue when removed.
Setting file protection
To make a tape read-only, turn the thumbwheel on the side of the
cartridge until a white dot appears in the window.
To enable writing to the tape, turn the thumbwheel until the dot is
not visible.
