SuperLoader User’s Guide 55
Chapter 3
3Tape Cartridge Use
Your SuperLoader uses magnetic tape technology to collect, backup, and
archive data. Magnetic tape is made of flexible plastic that is coated with
a ferromagnetic material on one side. A read/write head in the tape drive
discharges electrical impulses onto the moving ferromagnetic surface,
recording data as bits of positive and negative polarity. Therefore, it is
important to protect the tape from magnetic fields by properly caring for
them.
This chapter describes the magnetic tapes and how to handle them
properly. It also describes how to clean the tape drive.
