Labeling A Tape Cartridge - Digital Equipment MicroVAX 3600 Operation

Once the cartridge is loaded, you cannot remove it without rewinding and
uncoupling the leaders, a process called unloading. Even if you have not
used the tape, you must unload it before you can remove the cartridge. When
you press the Unload button, the tape rewinds into the cartridge and the
leaders uncouple.

When recording data on a cartridge, label its contents. For your convenience,
a slot for the label is provided on the front of the cartridge. Write the
identification on the label and insert the label in the slot on the front of the
cartridge, as shown in Figure 3-6. The label is visible when the tape is in
the drive.
