14Working With Cartridges
and Barcodes
This chapter describes how to work with cartridges and barcodes. When
working with tape cartridges, certain considerations should be taken into

aware of whether or not your cartridges are write-protected.
This chapter discusses these types of items in general terms. See Library
Specifications on page 524 for information on what type of tape
cartridges are supported for each drive type.
