before inserting it into a drive or a library.
Look for:
• Cracked or broken cartridge
• Broken leader block
• Broken leader block latch
• Damaged write-protect selector or write-protect switch
• Liquid in the cartridge
• Labels not firmly attached or extending over the cartridge edge
• Any other obvious damage
