Table 4. Media Cartridges

The

Write-Protect

switch prevents accidental erasure of data. If the switch is moved all the way to the left, the

cartridge is write-protected and the drive cannot write to, or erase data from, the cartridge. The small orange

rectangle will be visible whenever the cartridge is write-protected. Additionally, an arrow (beneath the orange

rectangle and above the two lines on the switch), indicates when data cannot be written to the cartridge. If the switch

is moved all the way to the right, the cartridge is write-enabled and the drive can write data to, or erase data from, the

cartridge. The orange rectangle will not be visible whenever the cartridge is write-enabled. On the right side of the

write-protect switch an arrow over one line indicates that data can be written to the cartridge if it is slid to the right.
