Setting the T9940 Write Protect Switch to Read-Only 

You can set the T9940 write protect switch so that the cartridge is read-only (nothing 

can be written on the tape). Slide the switch (

) to the write protect 

position. In this position, the drive can only read data from the tape and can not write 

data. 

Setting the T9940 Write Protect Switch to 

Read/Write

You can set the T9940 write protect switch so that the cartridge is write-enabled. Slide 

the switch (

) to the write enabled position. In this position, the drive can 

write as well as read data. This setting is recommended when you enter cartridges into 

the library. 

Some software has a feature called virtual thumb wheel, allowing read-only 

access to a cartridge that is not physically write-protected.
