D Data Compression The AIT tape drive ships from the factory with data compression enabled for writing. The drive is equipped with Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) algorithm. In this mode, data is always compressed when writing to the cassette, but the drive is capable of reading both compressed and uncompressed cassettes. For the drive to write uncompressed data, you must change the data compression setting. This can be changed through software or using the DIP switches (see Figure D-1). Consult your backup application software documentation for the data compression enabling and disabling procedure. AIT Drive Reference Guide D-1

Data Compression
The AIT tape drive ships from the factory with data compression enabled for writing.
The drive is equipped with Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) algorithm.
In this mode, data is always compressed when writing to the cassette, but the drive is
capable of reading both compressed and uncompressed cassettes.
For the drive to write uncompressed data, you must change the data compression
setting. This can be changed through software or using the DIP switches (see Figure
D-1). Consult your backup application software documentation for the data
compression enabling and disabling procedure.
