Write Protection
The tape cartridge has a Write-Protect function to prevent recording over existing
data on tape. A Write-Protect tab is located on the top side of the tape cartridge in
the upper left corner.
To write protect a tape cartridge, slide the tab completely to the right (locked
position). To allow writing to the tape cartridge, slide the tab completely to the left
(unlocked position).
Inserting and Removing Tapes
Hold the tape cartridge and insert it as illustrated below. Push the cartridge in until it
locks into place with a click.
When the cartridge is loaded, the ACCESS indicator on the front panel blinks in
green.
Once the cartridge is ready for operation at Beginning-Of-Tape (BOT), the ACCESS
indicator goes off.
Note
Wait for about 1 minute until the ACCESS indicator goes off and the cartridge is ready
for operation. A mechanical sound is heard during this period, but this is not a problem.
