OK, I hate to admit this but when purchasing 3592JB media, the question is 
always asked, "Do you want them initialized?"

What exactly does "initialized" mean as far as 3592JB cartridges are concerned 
and why would I want or not want them initialized?

I've searched online and cannot seem to find an answer.
