Correct Position
Open the door by holding the DLTtape cartridge as shown
in Figure E-3.
On the right side corner of the tape cartridge there is a
small tab in a cut-out portion of the cartridge. Using your
thumb, gently lift up on the tab and swing the door open
(Figure E-3).
Inside the door, you will see the tape and cartridge leader
loop. The loop should stick up about an eighth of an inch
when viewed from the edge; the loop must be a closed loop.
If the loop is torn, bent, pulled in, or not sticking up about
an eighth of an inch, do not use the tape cartridge.
