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.
• For ODC5500R cartridges, the number of files that can
be created is 800,000. For ODC3300R cartridges, the
maximum number of files is 480,000. For cartridges
other than the ODC3300R/5500R, you can select the
maximum number of files that can be created (60,000 or
240,000) when you format the cartridge.
• When you reformat write-once media, the previous
maximum number of files that can be created (800,000
for ODC5500R cartridges, 480,000 for ODC3300R
cartridges, 60,000 or 240,000 for other cartridges) will
carry over. However, you can reselect the maximum
number of files that can be created when you reformat
rewritable media.

Notes on Handling

Handling
The cartridge houses multiple 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.
