Media Compatibility Issues
Table 3-5 lists potential error messages and what may cause them.
NOTE If you experience any failures with reused Quantum DLT formatted
(degaussed) cartridges, the degaussing may not have been sufficient to
fully erase the data. If this happens, use another piece of media
(preferably a new, unformatted DLT Type IV cartridge) before suspecting
other system components.
