Write Protecting Tape Cartridges
LTO tape cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the cartridge next to the
write-protect switch. Use this area for attaching the adhesive-backed bar code label. Only apply
labels as shown:
The bar code label should only be applied as shown, with the alphanumeric portion facing the hub side
of the tape cartridge. Never apply multiple labels onto a cartridge because extra labels can cause the
cartridge to jam in a tape drive.
Write Protecting Tape Cartridges
All rewriteable data cartridges have a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure or
overwriting of data. Before loading a cartridge into the device, make sure the write-protect switch
on the front of the cartridge is in the desired position.
