Note: If no barcode label is present the autoloader checks for the presence or absence

Set Data Compression
You can set the autoloader to write data to the tape in its native (uncompressed)
format or to compress it. Compressing the data means that the autoloader can
typically write twice as much data to the same amount of tape. Actual
compression may vary, depending on the type of data being backed up.
Compression also increases the performance of the data transfers from or to the
SCSI bus.
Typically you will want to leave this option enabled unless you are backing up
data that is already compressed. Attempting to compress compressed data can
reduce performance and increase data size.
To set compression option:
1. On the main menu, scroll to Configuration.
