When using an unrecorded tape, the tape drive defaults to native
tape density mode.
If you execute a write from the beginning of tape (BOT) when
using an unrecorded tape, the tape drive defaults to native tape
density.
If you execute a write from the BOT when using a recorded tape,
all pre-recorded data (and density changes) are lost. This includes
density changes because they are established when writing from
the BOT.
