9.
Examine the visible tape leader for excessive debris, oily or sticky residue, condensed droplets of
moisture, or any other signs of contamination.
10.
Finally, check for proper operation of the data cartridge’s write-protect switch (refer to
Figure A-6
on page A-7
). This sliding switch, located on the end of the data cartridge used for the label,
should snap smartly back and forth, and the orange tab should be visible when the data cartridge is
set to provide write protection (you cannot write over the data already on the media).
