Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge (e.g. Gen2 or WORM
media), error code J or 7 appears in the SCD. If you inserted a
write-protected cartridge, or the media has read-only
compatibility (e.g., Gen3 media), error code P appears in the
SCD. In either case, the tape drive unloads the cartridge and
exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
