2. To find the end of the tape inside the cartridge, attach the cartridge manual

rewind tool ( in Figure 21) to the cartridge’s hub by fitting the tool’s teeth between the teeth of the hub. Turn the tool clockwise until you see the end of the tape inside the cartridge. Then, slowly turn the rewind tool

counterclockwise to bring the tape edge toward the cartridge door

.

3.Continue to turn the rewind tool counterclockwise until approximately 12.7 cm (5 in.) of tape hangs from the cartridge door. If necessary, grasp the tape and pull gently to unwind it from the cartridge.

4.Remove the rewind tool by pulling it away from the cartridge. Set the tool and the cartridge aside.

Figure 21. Winding the tape out of the cartridge. Turn the cartridge manual rewind tool clockwise to see the end of the tape, then turn it counterclockwise to bring the tape to the cartridge door.

5. On the leader pin (

in Figure 22), locate the open side of the C-clip

.

The C-clip is a small black part that secures the tape

to the pin.

 

6.Remove the C-clip from the leader pin by using your fingers to push the clip away from the pin. Set the pin aside and discard the clip.
