Setting The Cassette Tape Write-Protect Switch - Digital Equipment VAX 4000 Model 100 Operator Instructions Manual

• Store the cassette tape in its protective container, placed on its edge, or
stacked. Do not stack cassette tapes more than five high.
B.3.2 Setting the Cassette Tape Write-Protect Switch
There is a write-protect switch on one corner of the cassette tape. This
switch allows you to write-protect the data on the tape. After writing data
to the cassette tape, write-protect the tape to prevent accidental erasure or
overwriting of that data. Use the write-protect switch as follows:
• Use a pen to slide the write-protect switch to the left (write-protect)
position when you want to protect the data on the tape, or when you want
to read or copy data from the tape.
• Use a pen to slide the write-protect switch to the right (write-enable)
position when you want to write data to the tape.
Do not use a pencil to slide the write-protect switch. Graphite dust can
damage the cassette tape.
