Operator Intervention

Certain conditions in the 3494, when detected, require short-term operator intervention to resolve. These conditions do not stop the library manager from accepting commands, but can delay the execution of certain queued operations. Refer to ªChapter 7. Remote Library Manager Console Featureº on page 241 for most conditions requiring intervention.

The library manager keeps track of the outstanding intervention-required conditions. These conditions can be displayed on the library manager console and an operator can indicate which conditions have been resolved. Steps are provided to resolve each condition. For instructions on removing a cartridge from the gripper, see ªCartridge Removal from the Gripperº on page 239.

The operator intervention window (see Figure 127 on page 200) displays the list of conditions. If no outstanding conditions exist, the list is blank.

1.Determine what condition to resolve, perform the necessary action, and then reply that the condition was resolved by highlighting the condition and choosing OK. You can also choose the Help button for the operator actions.

Notes:

a.Certain conditions (for example, library full, Convenience Input¤Output Stationfull, and out of cleaner cartridges) are automatically cleared after you resolve the intervention-required condition.

b.Certain conditions require the frame door to be opened to resolve.

c.You can highlight more than one condition. Choosing OK clears all the items you highlighted.

2.Repeat step 1 until all needed conditions are resolved.

When you have replied that all outstanding conditions are resolved, the window is closed. Also, you can close the window and resolve some conditions later by choosing Cancel.
