Running an inventory

The autoloader automatically runs an inventory whenever you turn it on or insert a magazine. An inventory checks each magazine slot, the drive, the picker (the mechanism that grabs the tape from the library and moves it to the drive), and the mailslot to determine if a cartridge is present. If a cartridge is present, the autoloader also reads the bar code label, if available. If you need to run an additional inventory, you can do it manually.
