Inserting and Removing Tapes
Grip and insert your tape minicartridge. Push past the spring resistance of the
drive until the minicartridge snaps into place, leaving about 3 cm (about 1 in)
still outside the drive. To remove the tape minicartridge from the drive, grip as
before and pull it straight out of the drive. Do not remove the minicartridge if
the drive activity light is on and blinking. Remove tapes when not in use.
Tape Capacity and Compatibility
When using preformatted tapes with your Ditto Easy 3200 drive, Iomega
recommends Travan preformatted tapes. The formatted capacity of Ditto Easy
3200 tapes (Travan TR-3) are about 1.6 GB. Compressing your raw data by a
2:1 ratio (compression ratios depend on data type) allows you to store up to
3.2 GB of data on the tapes.

Reformatting Tapes
Old tapes and tapes that are generating too many errors should be bulk-erased
and reformatted using your software format options. Erasing tapes with a
commercial-grade bulk eraser is the best way to ensure that your tape is ready
for reformatting. Commercial-grade bulk erasers are available at many
computer dealers.
