Labeling Cassettes and the Magazine

Each cassette and the magazine should be labeled prior to use. To label a cassette follow the manufacturer’s instruction included with each cassette. To

label the magazine, place the label on space provided (see Figure 4-1).

Figure 4-1. Magazine identification

To prevent jams:

Insert cassettes all the way into the magazine.

Ensure the label corners are affixed firmly on the cassettes and magazine .

Only paste labels to the surface and make sure there are no curled edges.

Never paste labels on top of other labels.

IMPORTANT: Cassettes should be stored in their magazines so that they are kept together and in the correct order when multi-volumes are backed up.

Loading the Magazine with Cassettes
