Setting the
Write-protect Switch

The write-protect switch controls whether the tape cartridge is
write-protected or write-enabled:
•
Write-protecting a cartridge protects the data it contains from
being erased or overwritten. To write-protect a cartridge, move the
write-protect switch to the left (see figure 24). An orange tab
appears above the switch.
•
Write-enabling a cartridge allows new data to be written to the
cartridge or existing data to be modified or erased. To write-enable
a cartridge, move the write-protect switch to the right (see
figure 24). The orange tab disappears.
