tape. To reduce the chance of dropping cartridges, you should store
them on their sides in their protective cases.
Data Recovery.
If a damaged tape contains important data, we rec-
ommend sending the tape to a qualified data recovery service, such as
Ovation Data Services of Houston, Texas (www.ovationdata.com).
Other recovery services can be found by searching the Internet.
Stow Loose Labels.
Every new DLTtape cartridge comes with a
sheet of labels in its storage box. These are non-adhesive labels and
are designed to slide into the label slot on the front of the car-
tridge. Never use adhesive-based labels on your cartridges, and
never put a label anywhere but in the front label slot. It is possible
for the sheet of labels to cling to the cartridge by static or humidity
and find its way into your DLTtape drive. If this occurs, it can
block the cartridge drive gear. Solution: store extra labels separately
from your cartridges.
Ink Only.
Don’t use a pencil, grease pen, or other debris-producing
writing instrument to mark your DLTtape cartridge labels. This
debris can find its way into your tape cartridges and into your
drive. In addition, don’t erase your labels and reuse; use a new
label if you need to make corrections.
Hands Off.
Never handle the leader or the tape in your DLTtape
cartridge. The oil from your hands may be carried by the tape or
leader into the drive and be deposited on the read/write head. This
could cause a Failure To Calibrate or Hard Read/Write Error. This
condition will cause the Use Cleaning Tape light to come on. This
problem can usually be corrected by using the DLTtape cleaning
cartridge.
