This means compression is on and is being used.

Although remember if you had compression off and then wrote anything
to a tape then tried to turn compression on that tape will not be
compressed because you can not toggle compression on or off after data
is written to a tape. You can recover with a rewind then weof. Then
the tape can be switched to use compression. mt -f status with the
tape loaded should tell you if compression is enabled on the tape.
