Off-Line Mode

When the Scalar 458 Library is in Off-Line Mode you can use the Mailbox to insert or remove individual cartridges to/from the drives, or to/from the cartridge storage shelves. If your application software does not automate the drive head cleaning, use this procedure to manually perform the head cleaning

As in On-Line Mode the access control doors are unlocked, except when the library is picking or placing a cartridge. The cartridge stops are held in the raised position whenever the Mailbox access doors are unlocked.
