When a tape cartridge is loaded in the system and the tape cartridge’s write-
protect switch is moved to its write-protected position (to the left as you face the
label/switch side of the tape cartridge), the system turns on its Write Protect
indicator immediately. If the system is currently writing to the tape, the write-
protect feature does not take effect until after the current WRITE operation
completes.
Table 2-7 describes the impact of moving the write-protect switch to its enabled
position before loading the cartridge; Table 2-8 describes the impact of doing so
when the switch is moved during a WRITE operation.
