Setting the write-protect switch on a 3592 cartridge

Edit online

Use the write-protect switch to prevent data from being written to a 3592 tape cartridge.

The position of the write-protect switch on the 3592 tape cartridge (see Figure 1) determines whether or not you can write to the tape.
  • To write data to or erase data from the cartridge, set the switch to  1 . This exposes a square hole.
  • To prevent data from being overwritten or erased from the cartridge, set the switch to  2 . This covers the hole.
