Changing the Density and Compression for Writing
5-6
default back to 15.0 GB when the drive starts writing to tape.
• With type III cartridges, you can only select a density of 10.0 GB. You
can choose to have compression on or off.
To select density and compression:
1 Load a tape cartridge in the drive.
The “Tape in Use” light flashes while the tape loads
and calibrates.
2 Wait until the yellow “Tape in Use” light stops flashing.
The density lights will show the tape’s pre-recorded or default density.
3 Repeatedly press the Density Select or Select button until the lights for the
density and compression setting you want are lit.
The sequence in which the lights are lit is as follows:
The sequence then repeats.
Note HP SureStore DLT 40 only: To select 15 GB density with a DLTtape IIIxt,
select the 10 GB light.
About two seconds after you have stopped pressing the button, the new
density setting will flash together with the “Density Override” light. The
current (old) density of the tape will be lit steadily.
The drive remembers this request to change density until one of the
following occurs:
• The drive writes from Beginning of Tape at the new density.
• You select yet another density.
• The tape cartridge is unloaded.
• The drive is switched off.
