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:

•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.
