Handling Travan cartridges
Although Travan tape cartridges are ruggedly built,
they must be handled with care. Observe the following
precautions:
• Store cartridges in their protective cases when you
are not using them.
• Keep cartridges away from dust, dirt and moisture.
• Keep cartridges away from direct sunlight and heat
sources, such as radiators or warm air ducts.
• Do not expose cartridges to temperature extremes
or rapid changes in temperature.
• Keep cartridges away from sources of electromag-
netic fields, such as telephones, computer monitors,
printers, dictation equipment, mechanical or print-
ing calculators, motors or bulk erasers.
• Do not open the tape access door of a cartridge or
touch the tape itself. One fingerprint can prevent
the drive from reading information on the tape.
