Using Cartridges

Before you use the ValueLoader, make sure you observe these general 
rules:
ValueLoader VS80.
 Use only DLTtape IV  tape cartridges.
ValueLoader VS160.
 Use only DLT VS1 tape cartridges.
Clean the tape drive when the Clean Drive LED is illuminated
, or if there 
is any other indication that the drive is having trouble reading or 
writing, such as if the Media Attention LED is illuminated, or there is 
an exclamation point (!) in the inventory display. Be sure to use only 
DLT1 compatible cleaning cartridges. The tape drive rejects all other 
types of cleaning cartridges.

Note:
The ValueLoader automatically unloads any other cartridge 
types and any cartridges whose format it cannot read. 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 
cartridge before suspecting other system components.
