Using cartridges

Important

For the autoloader, push in the cartridge until it stops. The cartridge should be about 3 inches (7.5 cm) inside the mailslot. This may require that you push and have your fingers well within the mailslot opening. After insertion, the end of the cartridge should be visible at the back of the mailslot opening.

To insert a cartridge into a magazine slot:

1From the Main menu, scroll to Commands, then press ENTER. The Commands submenu opens.

2Scroll to Enter, then press ENTER. The Enter submenu opens.

3Scroll to To Location, then press ENTER. The message “Insert Tape, Push Until Prompted” appears on the LCD.

4Insert the cartridge. After approximately five seconds, the system automatically verifies that a cartridge is inserted and continues the process. The message “Tape Loaded” appears when the process is successfully completed.

5After you have inserted the cartridge, press ENTER.

If the load cartridge function fails, the cartridge ejects, the message “Missed Tape” appears, and you must perform Step 3 and Step 4 again.

6Scroll through the magazine slots and view their status until you find the appropriate slot. Slots that are occupied by a data cartridge are indicated by an asterisk (*). Scroll to the slot where you want to store the cartridge, then press ENTER.

Moving a single cartridge

You can move a single cartridge from one location to another inside the autoloader.

To move a single cartridge:

1From the Main menu, scroll to Commands, then press ENTER. The Commands submenu opens.

2Scroll to Move, then press ENTER. The Move screen appears under From:.

If you select an empty From: location, “No Source Tape” appears on the

LCD. Choose a different location.

3Scroll to the current location of the cartridge you want to move. Slots that are occupied by a data cartridge are indicated by an asterisk (*).

4From To:, scroll to the location to which you want to move the cartridge. Slots that are occupied by a data cartridge are indicated by an asterisk (*). Press ENTER.

If you select a To: location that is already occupied, “Destination Full” appears on the LCD. Choose a different location.
