Abstract
A recording and reproducing device includes: a reading unit that reads production information from a recording medium of a magnetic tape cartridge, the magnetic tape cartridge including a magnetic tape, and the recording medium other than the magnetic tape and on which the production information is recorded, the production information being information regarding the magnetic tape obtained in a production process of the magnetic tape cartridge; and a control unit that performs, as an initialization process of the magnetic tape cartridge, control of recording the production information on the magnetic tape and invalidating the production information in the recording medium.
Claims7
A recording and reproducing device comprising:
- a reading unit that reads production information from a recording medium of a magnetic tape cartridge, the magnetic tape cartridge including a magnetic tape, and the recording medium other than the magnetic tape and on which the production information is recorded, the production information being information regarding the magnetic tape obtained in a production process of the magnetic tape cartridge;
- and
- a control unit that performs, as an initialization process of the magnetic tape cartridge, control of recording the production information on the magnetic tape and invalidating the production information in the recording medium,
- wherein the control unit performs control of removing the production information from the recording medium as the control of invalidating the production information.
A recording and reproducing method executed by a recording and reproducing device, the method comprising:
- reading production information from a recording medium of a magnetic tape cartridge, the magnetic tape cartridge including a magnetic tape, and the recording medium other than the magnetic tape and on which the production information is recorded, the production information being information regarding the magnetic tape obtained in a production process of the magnetic tape cartridge;
- and
- performing an initialization process of the magnetic tape cartridge by recording the production information on the magnetic tape and invalidating the production information in the recording medium,
- wherein invalidating the production information comprises removing the production information from the recording medium.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that causes a recording and reproducing device to perform recording and reproducing processing, the recording and reproducing processing comprising:
- reading production information from a recording medium of a magnetic tape cartridge, the magnetic tape cartridge including a magnetic tape, and the recording medium other than the magnetic tape and on which the production information is recorded, the production information being information regarding the magnetic tape obtained in a production process of the magnetic tape cartridge;
- and
- performing an initialization process of the magnetic tape cartridge by recording the production information on the magnetic tape and invalidating the production information in the recording medium,
- wherein invalidating the production information comprises removing the production information from the recording medium.
A magnetic tape cartridge comprising:
- a magnetic tape;
- and
- a recording medium other than the magnetic tape,
- wherein production information that is information regarding the magnetic tape obtained in a production process of the magnetic tape cartridge and is to be invalidated by an initialization process of the magnetic tape cartridge, is recorded on the recording medium, and
- wherein invalidation of the production information by the initialization process comprises removal of the production information from the recording medium.
