Environmental and Shipping Specifications for Tape
Cartridges
Before using a tape cartridge, acclimate it to the operating environment for 24
hours or the time necessary to prevent condensation in the drive (the time will
vary, depending on the environmental extremes to which the media was exposed).
The best storage container for the cartridges (until opened) is the original shipping
container. The plastic wrapping prevents dirt from accumulating on the cartridges
and partially protects them from humidity changes.
When shipping a cartridge, place it in a jewel case or in a sealed, moisture-proof
bag to protect it from moisture, contaminants, and physical damage. Ship the
cartridge in a container that has enough packing material to cushion the cartridge
and prevent it from moving within the container.
