*compressed capacities assume a 2:1 compression ratio
Note You can appear to set any density with any tape cartridge on the front
panel. However, if the combination of density and tape cartridge is
invalid, as shown in the tables above, the density will switch back to the

provides software compression. This compresses the data before sending it
