Note: With the “super fast” unload button, the tape drive will unload the tape even if an error is present during the unload procedure, unless the error is a serious hardware error as follows:
■The tape drive is unable to remove the tape from
the tape path and spool all of it into the cartridge. In this case, the tape drive does not eject the cartridge. This prevents the cartridge lid from closing on the exposed tape.
■The front load motor is not functioning. In this case, the tape drive is physically incapable of ejecting the cartridge.
