Notes
• Deleting files from the media will not increase the
available storage space for either write-once or
rewritable type cartridges.
• In the case of write-once type cartridges, pay attention to
the following points.
- Reformatting the media will not increase the available
storage space.
- Repetitive file writing will consume the available
writable space (for writing the media management
data, etc.) on the media. If there is no available
writable space on the media, file writing may be
disabled, even if sufficient storage space remains.
- No file can be written after the media is finalized.
• You can select the maximum number of files that can be
created (60,000 or 240,000) when you format a
cartridge.
• When you reformat write-once media, the previous
maximum number of files that can be created (60,000 or
240,000) will carry over. However, you can reselect the
maximum number of files that can be created when you
reformat rewritable media.
• If you select 240,000 as the maximum number of files
that can be created during formatting, the rate of
successful repair for the file repair function will be lower
than when 60,000 is selected.

Notes on Handling

Handling
The Optical Disc Archive Cartridge houses 12 discs in a
shell, and is designed to allow handling free of risk from
dust or fingerprints. However, if the cartridge is subjected
to a severe shock, for example by dropping it, this can
result in damage or scratching of the discs. If a disc is
scratched, it may be impossible to write data, or to read the
data written on the disc. The cartridge should be handled
and stored carefully.
• Do not remove any discs from the cartridge.
• Do not disassemble the cartridge.
• If the disc order in a cartridge is changed, or other discs
are substituted, the cartridge will no longer be
recognized by the unit and cannot be used.
• The supplied adhesive labels are recommended for
indexing cartridges. Apply the label in the correct
position.
Storage
• Do not store cartridges where they may be subjected to
direct sunlight, or in other places where the temperature
or humidity is high.
• Do not leave cartridges where dust may be able to gain
ingress.
• Store cartridges in their cases.
Care of the cartridge
• Remove dust and dirt on the outside of a cartridge using
a soft dry cloth.
• If condensation forms, allow ample time to dry before
use.

Cartridge Memory

The Optical Disc Archive Cartridge includes the Cartridge
Memory, which enables contactless communication with
this unit.
The basic information of Optical Disc Archive Cartridge is
written in the Cartridge Memory.
Using the application software will enable the user-data to
be written/read in the future.
