If You Cannot Issue MODE SELECT Commands

If you cannot issue MODE SELECT commands to set the Density

Code, follow these steps to write tapes in different formats:

1. Obtain a tape that has already been written in the desired

format. This tape must include an LBOT pattern plus data or at

least one filemark (or setmark in 8500c format).

2. Load the previously written tape in the CTS.

3. Issue a SPACE or READ command to move the tape away from

LBOT. The CTS automatically sets the Density Code to the

formatitfindsonthetape.

4. Issue a WRITE or WRITE FILEMARKS command to write

information (data, a filemark, or a setmark).

Note: After you complete steps 2, 3, and 4, the Density Code

remains as set in step 3 for as long as that tape is loaded.

5. Rewind the tape to LBOT.

6. Issue a WRITE or WRITE FILEMARKS command to write new

information to the tape and to overwrite the existing

information. The tape will be written in the desired format.

7. To change the format, repeat steps 1 through 6 with a tape

written in the new format. Or, load a blank tape to write in the

CTS’s power-on default format.
