Figure 12 Checking for gaps in
the seams of a cartridge
• Check that the leader pin is properly seated.
• If you suspect that the cartridge has been mishandled but it appears
usable, copy any data onto a good cartridge immediately for
possible data recovery. Discard the mishandled cartridge.
• Review handling and shipping procedures.
Handle the Cartridge
Carefully
• Do not drop the cartridge. If the cartridge drops, slide the cartridge
door back and ensure that the leader pin is properly seated in the
pin-retaining spring clips (see 2 in Figure D-1 on page D-2).
• Do not handle tape that is outside the cartridge. Handling the tape
can damage the tape's surface or edges, which may interfere with
read or write reliability. Pulling on tape that is outside the cartridge
can damage the tape and the brake mechanism in the cartridge.
• Do not stack more than six cartridges.
• Do not degauss a cartridge that you intend to reuse. Degaussing
makes the tape unusable.
