|

|
|
<div><p>Most tapes arrive in sealed cartridges so that the
|
||
|
|
tape will remain in a clean environment. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Opening the cartridge allows dirt and airborne particles to enter and then
|
||
|
|
become a source of contamination. Only the tape drive should open the cartridge;
|
||
|
|
not an operator. Inside the cartridge, the tape is under correct tension.
|
||
|
|
If the cartridge is dropped, this tension will be relaxed. Inserting a dropped
|
||
|
|
cartridge into a tape drive can cause incorrect loading and result in a jam.
|
||
|
|
This will ruin the tape and can cause physical damage if the cartridge is
|
||
|
|
not removed properly.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To store the tapes properly, put them in their protective containers and
|
||
|
|
store them on their ends. The storage area must be clean, dry, at room temperature,
|
||
|
|
and away from any magnetic fields.</p>
