Attention: Do not attempt to change the write-protect settings after the tape cartridge is loaded in the
drive because this might cause unpredictable results and might damage the tape or the drive.
The position of the write-protect switch on the tape cartridge determines when you can write to the tape.
Before loading cartridges into magazines, set the write-protect switch of each cartridge to enable or
disable data recording. When the switch is set to the left, data can be written to the tape. When the
switch is set to the right, data cannot be written to the tape.
