OFFLINE PRINTING TASKS
Handle cartridge tapes
• Never try to pry open the feed slot door or force a tape
cartridge into or out of a drive.
• Never leave a cartridge in a tape drive when powering off.
You could damage data on the tape and the tape drive
components.
• When cartridges are not being used, store them vertically in a
dirt-free area that matches as closely as possible the
environment of the room where you have the tape system.
If the temperature or humidity are different, bring cartridges
into the tape system environment 24 hours in advance to
condition them.
• Never remove the protective wrapping until you are ready to
use the cartridge.
• Every time you pick up a cartridge, ensure the leader block is
latched.
• Never carry two or more cartridges loose in a container.
Leader blocks can snag on other cartridges and become
unlatched.
• Keep cartridges clean and dry.
• Never release a leader block and pull tape from the cartridge.
• Never open a cartridge; you will probably damage the tape.
• Never expose the tape or cartridges to direct sunlight.
• Never smoke near the tape transport or cartridge storage
areas. Tobacco smoke and ash are especially damaging to
tapes.
• Never place cartridges near electric motors or any other
magnetic sources that may erase data.
• To clean a cartridge, wipe off dust, dirt, and moisture with a
lint-free cloth. If you must use a cleaning solution, ensure it
is made specifically for cleaning cartridges. Never allow the
solution to touch the tape.
• If a leader block (blank section at beginning of tape) comes
off, but there is no other obvious damage to the cartridge or
the tape, a leader block repair kit may be used. The kit
allows you to reattach the block and use the cartridge one
more time to copy the data onto a new cartridge.
• If a label starts to peel off, replace it immediately to avoid
loading/unloading problems.
• Do not write on a label that is on a cartridge. If you want to
change a label, fill out a new one, remove the old one, and
replace it with the new one.
