Abstract
Provided is a magnetic tape device including: a magnetic head having a magnetic element that acts in proximity to a magnetic layer formed on a front surface of a magnetic tape; and a support member which is disposed at a position facing the magnetic head and against which a back surface of the magnetic tape provided on a side opposite to the front surface is pressed, in which the support member has a groove formed along a running direction of the magnetic tape only in a region corresponding to a non-acting region except for a region of the magnetic layer on which the magnetic element acts.

A magnetic tape device comprising:
- a magnetic head having a magnetic element that acts in proximity to a magnetic layer formed on a front surface of a magnetic tape;
- and
- a support member which is disposed at a position facing the magnetic head and against which a back surface of the magnetic tape provided on a side opposite to the front surface is pressed,
- wherein the support member has a groove formed along a running direction of the magnetic tape only in a region corresponding to a non-acting region except for a region of the magnetic layer on which the magnetic element acts.
A method of operating a magnetic tape device, comprising:
- causing a magnetic tape to run while pressing a back surface of the magnetic tape provided on a side opposite to a front surface on which a magnetic layer is formed against a support member disposed at a position facing a magnetic head, the support member having a groove formed along a running direction of the magnetic tape only in a region corresponding to a non-acting region except for a region of the magnetic layer of the magnetic tape on which a magnetic element of the magnetic head acts;
- and
- causing the magnetic element to act in proximity to the magnetic layer of the magnetic tape in a state in which the back surface is pressed against the support member.
