Chapter 3 Cartridges

Cartridge Handling and Storage Guidelines

DLT-S4 Product Manual 24

• Use only the slide-in labels provided with each cartridge or slide-in

bar code labels designed for use with DLT media. Slide labels into the

label slot on the cartridge (see figure 6

). Never apply adhesive labels

or “sticky” notes on the top, side, or bottom of tape cartridges, and do

not write on the cartridge.

• Do not write on the labels with debris-producing writing

instruments, such as graphite pencils and water-soluble felt pens.

• Other than the bar code label, ensure that nothing else is stuck to the

cartridge before inserting it into the tape drive. Loose labels and other

materials can cling to the bottom of the cartridge and get stuck in the

tape drive.

• Leave unused labels attached to the printed material (called the

u-card) within the cartridge case.

• Store any loose labels or other materials that are smaller than 4.5 x 4.5

inches (114.3 x 114.3 mm) separate from the cartridge. A loose label or

piece of paper accidentally inserted into the tape drive along with a

cartridge can prevent the hub reel and tape drive gear from meshing.

• Never touch the tape or media leader. Dust and oils from your skin

contaminate the tape and affect performance.

• Avoid unnecessarily opening the cartridge media access door (see

figure 9

). This may expose the media to contamination or physical

damage.

• Protect cartridges from shock, vibration, moisture, direct sunlight,

dust, smoke, and magnetic fields. Devices that may produce

magnetic fields, such as computer monitors, motors, or video

equipment can alter or erase data on the media.

• Observe the proper temperature and humidity conditions for

operating and storing cartridges as follows:

Temperature

Operating 10 °C to 40 °C (50 °F to 104 °F)

Storage (with data) 18 °C to 28°C (64 °F to 82 °F)

Humidity

Operating 20% to 80% non-condensing

Storage (with data) 40% to 60% non-condensing
