Handling Travan Cartridges

2

Although Travan tape cartridges are ruggedly built, they must be 

handled with care. Observe the following precautions:
• Store cartridges in their protective cases when you are not using 

them.

• Keep cartridges away from dust, dirt and moisture.
• Keep cartridges away from direct sunlight and heat sources, such as 

radiators or warm air ducts.

• Do not expose cartridges to temperature extremes or rapid changes in 

temperature.

• Keep cartridges away from sources of electromagnetic fields, such as 

telephones, computer monitors, printers, dictation equipment, 

mechanical or printing calculators, motors or bulk erasers.

• Do not open the tape access door of a cartridge or touch the tape 

itself. One fingerprint can prevent the drive from reading informa-

tion on the tape.

Wait until the drive-activity light is OFF. 

Grasp the exposed sides of the cartridge and 

pull the cartridge straight out.

 Make sure the drive-activity light is OFF. 

Push the Drive-Activity Light/Eject button. 

When the cartridge has been ejected by the 

drive, grasp the exposed sides of the cartridge 

and carefully pull the cartridge straight out.

For additional handling recommendations, see the literature 

included with your tape cartridge.
