You
might need to set the write-protect switch on your tape drive. Use the information
in this topic to perform this task.
Attention: Do
not attempt to change the write-protect settings after the tape cartridge
is loaded in the drive because this might cause unpredictable
results and might damage the tape or the drive.
The position of
the write-protect switch on the tape cartridge determines when you can write
to the tape. Before loading cartridges into magazines, set the write-protect
switch of each cartridge to enable or disable data recording. When the switch
is set to the left, data can be written to the tape. When the switch is set
to the right, data cannot be written to the tape.
