Then...
The illuminated indicators show data density
when the tape is being read from and written to.
The indicators illuminate steadily; Density
Override remains extinguished.
The indictor that reflects the actual data density
and the Density Override indicators both are
illuminated. For example, if the actual data
density is set for 10.0 GB and 10.0 GB is selected
via the Select Button, the indicator next to
"10.0" illuminates.
1. The indicator that reflects the actual data
density illuminates steadily.
2. The indicator reflected the SELECTED density
blinks.
3. The Density Override illuminates steadily.
For example, if the actual tape data density is set
for 40.0 GB and the selected density is 20.0 GB,
the 40.0 indicator lights steadily, the 20.0
indicator blinks, and the Density Override
indicator illuminates steadily.
