Handling the Cartridges
When handling or storing the cartridges, note the following cautions.
Handling
• Do not subject the cartridges to strong vibrations. Do not drop the cartridges.
• When loading a cartridge into the AIT library, the lid of the cartridge opens
up automatically. Do not manually open the lid and touch the interior tape.
• The cartridge is preadjusted at the factory, so do not disassemble it.
• The tab of a cartridge is used to prevent writing to the cartridge by accident.
• If the cartridge does not need to be written, move the tab to write protect it. t
“Preparing the Cartridge” (page 25) in Chapter 2, “Installation”.
• If the AIT library is used in a high-humidity environment or a location that is
subject to wide variations in temperature, condensation may prevent cartridge
read/write operation.
• If the cartridge needs not be written to or read from, do not insert or eject it
too often.
Storing
• Store cartridges in an appropriate environment.
Store cartridges according to the temperature and other surrounding
conditions written on the package. Also, try to keep the temperature and
humidity of the environment constant. Store cartridges out of the direct sun
rays. Do not store them near heating systems. Never place cartridges on a
dashboard or in the glove compartment of a car.
• Store cartridges where there is little dust.
Eliminate sources of dust. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking near the
storage location. Also, do not store cartridges near copying machines or
printers that emit toner and paper dust.
• When storing cartridge, set the erase-protection tab so that the data cannot be
over written.
