All cartridges have a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure of data.
Before loading a cartridge into the autoloader, make sure the write-protect
switch on the front of the cartridge is positioned as desired:
Slide the switch to the left to write-protect the cartridge. A small orange
rectangle is visible, indicating that the cartridge is write-protected.
Slide the switch to the right to allow the autoloader to write data to the
cartridge.
