When setting a write gap or a read gap to a recording track on a magnetic medium, an edge of the medium is selected as a starting point, proceeding from which the write and read means are displaced in fixed track spacings. Appropriate method steps are: (a) generating a write signal with the write means of a read and write system exhibiting a write and a read means; (b) moving the medium from the write means toward the read means; (c) executing a read operation with the read means which generates a read signal; (d) comparing the read signal to a reference value identifying the write signal; and (e) outputting a detector signal indicating the edge when the write signal has been identified.
