Optical Drive and Library SCSI-2 Command Reference

SCSI-2 Drive Command Set
Mode Sense (Group 0) Command (1AH)
Chapter 22-72
FWC A Force Write Calibration bit of 1 instructs the drive to
perform the Write Calibration routine at spin-up. A
Force Write Calibration bit of 0 instructs the drive to
perform the Write Calibration routine on receipt of the
first Write command or 5 minutes after spin-up.
NOTE The bits DAIR and Force Verify on this mode page can also be controlled
in HP products by changing external switch settings. In HP’s standalone
box products, this is accomplished by changing the thumb wheel settings
on the rear of the box. In HP’s library products, this is accomplished by
changing the front panel settings. In all cases, changes to the mode page
settings will override the external switch settings.
