Library Operation

Replacing a single cartridge

As described in this section, you can use several different methods to replace single cartridges without opening the library door.

￿Use the Extend/Retract E/E option to insert or remove cartridges through the entry/exit port.

￿Use the Remove Cartridge option to remove the cartridge.

￿Use the Insert Cartridge option to replace the cartridge.
