• The ambient operating environment for the tape cartridge is
Temperature 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F)
Relative Humidity 20% to 80% (non-condensing)
If storage and/or transportation of a tape cartridge has exposed it to conditions
outside the ambient values above, you should “condition” the tape cartridge to
its operating environment for a 24-hour period.
• Place labels only in the front slide slot of the cartridge. Do not put any label on
the top, bottom, sides, or rear of the cartridge. This may interfere with normal
cartridge operation and may damage other subsystem components.
• Do not use graphite pencils, water-soluble felt pens, or other debris-producing
writing instruments on your labels. Never erase a label – replace it.
• Make sure you place the unused cartridge labels in the protective box so that
you do not inadvertently pick them up along with the cartridge during
subsequent usage. A static electricity charge on a cartridge may cause a label
to cling to the cartridge. A label that is accidentally inserted into the system
along with a cartridge can prevent the hub reel and system gear from meshing.
• Follow all instructions for tape cartridge handling that accompany your
cartridges or tape system.
