Abstract
The read/write head assembly of a tape drive device is moved from a first read/write position to a second non-read/write position. A tape engaging surface maintains tape tension and path in the non-read/write position. Movement of the read/write head assembly to a non-read/write position prevents read/write head element wear during tape searching.
