4.GOOD status is reported if the tape unloaded successfully. Otherwise, another unload operation is initiated on behalf of the host that issued the unload request.

Following an unload, any media access commands will be rejected by the Media Access check.

If an unload request is received while the tape is in the process of unloading (for example, as a result of pressing the eject button), it will be queued until the unload is complete.

If an unload request is received while there is no tape present, or if a tape is present but not loaded and medium removal is prevented, GOOD status is reported.

It is possible to unload and eject the cartridge by pressing the Eject button on the front panel.
