Disclosed are a magnetic tape cartridge and a servo writer which both
allow a magnetic tape drive to recognize a level of a voltage signal
being read from a servo signal. In a magnetic tape included in the
magnetic tape cartridge, a servo signal that has been written on a servo
band contains output level data indicating an output level of the servo
signal itself. The magnetic tape drive reads the servo signal, then
extracts the output level data therefrom, and adjusts the output level of
the servo signal to a predetermined level.
