     cartridge ).  If the media is correct, it will be processed.    If it is rejected, the hard copy will be

     approved magnetic media reporter, it is no longer necessary to provide a hard copy.

     protective case and place an external label on the outside of the protective case that includes all 
     necessary information. (see Appendix C). 
      
     For cartridges place an external label on each cartridge that includes all necessary information. (see 
     Appendix C).

     (any length).
