Current and Power Requirements

The tape drive draws the highest current (and power) during the native write modes. Standby is measured with the tape loaded and tensioned or untensioned, and Idle is measured with power on with no tape loaded.

(The power drawn in these two modes is similar enough that they are listed together.)

Note: In table 13, the current and DC power values pertain to the internal tape drive, while the AC power values apply to the tabletop tape drive.
