Cartridge Write-Protect Switch

All DLTtape™IV cartridges have a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure of data.
Before loading a DLTtape™IV cartridge into your DLT-VS80, 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 your DLT-VS80 to write data to the cartridge.
