Write-Protecting Cartridges
If you want to protect the data on a cartridge from being altered or overwritten, you can
write-protect the cartridge. To write-protect a cartridge, slide the tab on the rear of the cartridge
so that the recognition hole is open, as shown below.
Caution: Write-protection will not prevent a cartridge being erased by bulk-erasure or
degaussing.
Labeling Cartridges and Magazines
Ensure that no more than one label is stuck to the label area of the cartridge. Use only labels
provided with cartridges. Never use non-standard labels, and never stick anything to the
cartridge other than in the label area.
