Using Tapes and Caring for Your Drive

Inserting a Tape
1. Align the tape with the tape-drive door. The record/play area faces the
door and goes in first.
2. Insert the tape with the metal base plate facing away from the colored
strip on the tape drive.
3. Steady the drive with one hand and push the tape into the tape drive
with the other. You will feel it lock into place.
After the cartridge is inserted, you will hear the sound of the tape being
wound back and forth. This sound indicates that the tape drive is finding
the beginning of the tape, determining the tape’s length and format, and
positioning the drive’s read/write head.
Note the differences between the two cartridge types when they are fully
inserted.
