Using Optical Disks

Labeling an Optical Disk Cartridge

Make it a practice to label your optical disk cartridges. You are provided adhesive

labels with each disk for this purpose. Here are some suggestions for labeling:

• date of format or initialization

• disk owner (group, department, etc.)

• storage purpose (backup, old version of operating system, etc.)

HP recommends using end labels as shown in Figure 2-1. End labels reduce the

chance of label material interfering with the cartridge shutter and causing a drive to

jam.

CAUTION Labels used in the vicinity of the shutter may cause the drive to jam if the label is

installed incorrectly or if portions of the label lift off because of wear. If a drive

jams because the label interferes with the shutter the drive may have to be serviced.
