5.7.2 Setting the Write-Protect Tab on the Cassette Tape
If you are using the tape to read or are copying from the tape, we recommend
that you set the write-protect tab to write-protected. This disables writing
to tape, and ensures that data will not be accidentally overwritten. The
write-protect tab contrasts in color to the cartridge body. Use a pen (NOT A
PENCIL) to set the write-protect tab (Figure 5–1) to the desired position.
NOTE
The tab is not visible when the cassette tape is loaded in the TLZ07
drive.
