Importance of HP-Approved Cartridges

HP-approved cartridges are thoroughly tested to meet high-quality standards.
Before HP recommends a cartridge the quality and reliability of the magnetic
media and the cartridge are evaluated. Do not use unapproved cartridges; they
may not be compatible with HP tape drives. See the section "Approved
Cartridges" in Chapter 5 for a list of HP-approved cartridges.
