cartridge into the ValueLoader, make sure the write-protect switch
on the front of the cartridge is positioned as desired:
• Slide the switch to the left to write-protect the cartridge. A
small orange rectangle is visible, indicating the cartridge is

To ensure the longest possible life for all of your cartridges, follow
these guidelines:
• Do not drop or strike a cartridge. Excessive shock can displace
the tape leader, making the cartridge unusable and possibly
damaging the ValueLoader.
• Store cartridges in their storage cases.
• Do not expose cartridges to direct sunlight or sources of heat,
including portable heaters and heating ducts.
