1 The 10-character dot matrix display provides information on the autoloader’s operating status and potential error conditions. Refer to “LCD Messages” in the Appendix for details of the kinds of messages that can be displayed here.

2The Cartridge Number display shows the number of the current cartridge loaded in the drive, or the cartridge selected when you press the Select button.

3The center of the LCD panel is where DC (Data Compression) and WP (Write- Protected) are displayed. DC indicates that data compression is being used for writing, and WP indicates that a cartridge is write-protected.

4The six numbered boxes on the right of the LCD panel are individually lit to show which magazine slots contain a cartridge.

5The display at the bottom of the LCD panel shows how much tape has been used in the current partition. The more lines shown, the more tape has been used. When all the lines show, the partition is full.
