Setting the DLT Write-Protect Switch
Refer to Figure 4-5 to see the location of the write protect switch. To set the
cartridge to write-protected, slide the switch to the left so the orange indicator is
visible. In this position, the drive can only read data from the tape and cannot
write data to the tape.
To set the cartridge to write-enabled, slide the switch to the right so the orange
indicator is not visible. In this position, the drive can write as well as read data.
