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.
Claims12
A recording and reproducing device comprising:
- a reading unit that reads production information from a recording medium of a magnetic tape cartridge, wherein:
- a magnetic tape and the recording medium are both inside a casing of the magnetic tape cartridge, and
- the recording medium is not tape, is separate from the magnetic tape and stores the production information, 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 stored in the recording medium on the magnetic tape and invalidating the production information in the recording medium, the initialization process being performed at a time when the magnetic tape cartridge is initially loaded into the recording and reproducing device.
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, wherein:
- a magnetic tape and the recording medium are both inside a casing of the magnetic tape cartridge, and
- the recording medium is not tape, is separate from the magnetic tape and stores the production information, 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 stored in the recording medium on the magnetic tape and invalidating the production information in the recording medium, the initialization process being performed at a time when the magnetic tape cartridge is initially loaded into the recording and reproducing device.
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, wherein:
- a magnetic tape and the recording medium are both inside a casing of the magnetic tape cartridge, and
- the recording medium is not tape, is separate from the magnetic tape and stores the production information, 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 stored in the recording medium on the magnetic tape and invalidating the production information in the recording medium, the initialization process being performed at a time when the magnetic tape cartridge is initially loaded into the recording and reproducing device.
A magnetic tape cartridge comprising:
- a magnetic tape;
- and
- a recording medium,
- wherein the magnetic tape and the recording medium are both inside a casing of the magnetic tape cartridge,
- wherein the recording medium is not tape, is separate from the magnetic tape and stores production information,
- wherein the production information is information regarding the magnetic tape obtained in a production process of the magnetic tape cartridge, and the production information stored in the recording medium is to be recorded on the magnetic tape and thereafter be invalidated by an initialization process of the magnetic tape cartridge, and
- wherein the initialization process is performed at a time when the magnetic tape cartridge is initially loaded into a recording and reproducing device.
