Appendix D: The Tape Cartridge

∙Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight.

∙Do not insert any cartridge that has been dropped into the DLTtape drive without at least a thorough visual inspection as described in this paper. A dropped cartridge may have dislodged, loosened, or damaged internal components.

∙Avoid unnecessary opening of the cartridge door; this may expose the tape to contamination or physical damage.

∙Do not attempt to remove a tape cartridge from the tape drive unless the Operate Handle LED lights steadily and the drive’s beeper has sounded its tone. Overriding the drive handle will cause damage to both the media and the tape drive.

∙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 drive along with a cartridge can prevent the hub reel and drive gear from meshing.

∙Maintain clean operating, working, and storage environments.

∙Follow all tape cartridge handling instructions that accompany your cartridges or tape drive.
