Media Protection
The write-protect switch is used to prevent recording over existing data. To prevent recording or deleting,
place the write-protect switch to the closed position. The drive senses the position of the switch and will not
allow writing in this position. When inserting cartridges in the Scalar 24, place the switch in the open position,
unless you do not wish to record on a specific cartridge.
The following diagram provides a representational view of media storage as it is laid out in a library
