{l | m | h | a}_density=(hex codes)

The density code to be set in the SCSI mode page block descriptor corresponding to the desired density code for l, m, h, or a.

{l | m | h | a}_algorithm=(hex codes)

The compression algorithm to be set in the SCSI Compression Mode Page corresponding to the density code and the desired density characteristic.

autoload=(Boolean yes/no)

This field is set to yes if the tape drive has an automatic loading feature; that is, after tape cartridge is inserted, the tape drive becomes ready without the need to execute a SCSI load (start/stop unit) command. The default for this field is no.
