A READ command has
encountered compressed
data on the tape, but the
drive is not currently
configured to decompress
data. The host might have
disabled data compression,
or Configuration Switch 2
(on the underside of the
autoloader) is off so the
host ability to control the

Check that the host has
not disabled
compression. Check
that switch 2 is on by
reconfiguring the drive
using the Configuration
Switches on the
underside of the
