Replacement of the leader block is a temporary repair. It allows the operator
to insert the cartridge, with the file-protect selector (see item 3 ) set to the
file-protect position, once. This, in turn, allows the data to be copied to a new
cartridge. After you repair the leader block and recover the data, do not use
the cartridge again.
