v Position the label within the recessed label area (see 5 in Figure 6-1 on page6-1).v With light finger pressure, smooth the label so that no wrinkles or bubbles existon its surface.v Verify that the label is smooth and parallel, and has no roll-up or roll-over. Thelabel must be flat to within 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) over the length of the label andhave no folds, missing pieces, or smudges.v Do not place other machine-readable labels on other surfaces of the cartridge.They may interfere with the ability of the drive to load the cartridge.Write-Protect SwitchThe position of the write-protect switch on the tape cartridge (see 1) determineswhether you can write to the tape. If the switch is set to:v The locked position (solid red), data cannot be written to the tape.v The unlocked position (black void), data can be written to the tape.If possible, use your server's application software to write-protect your cartridges(rather than manually setting the write-protect switch). This allows the server'ssoftware to identify a cartridge that no longer contains current data and is eligibleto become a scratch (blank) data cartridge. Do not write-protect scratch (blank)cartridges; the tape drive will not be able to write new data to them.If you must manually set the write-protect switch, slide it left or right to thedesired position.Table 6-4.
