Write-Protecting and Write-Enabling Cartridges

Each DLT cartridge has a write-protect switch 1 and an orange protection
tab 2. Use the switch as follows:
1. To write-protect a cartridge (prevent data from being written onto the
tape), move the switch to the left. The orange tab appears.
2. To write-enable a cartridge (allow data to be written), move the switch
to the right. The orange tab disappears.
NOTE: When write-protected, the cartridge can only be read by the library; it cannot be
written to or erased.
