Using cartridges and magazines

Applying labels

When applying labels to a cartridge, observe the following precautions to prevent the cartridge from getting stuck in the autoloader:

∙Apply labels firmly, only in recessed label areas.

∙Do not let labels extend beyond label areas or fold over the edge of a cartridge.

∙Do not apply labels over other labels.

Caution Do not place any labels on the autoloader magazine, since this may cause the tape mechanism to jam.

Loading cartridges in a magazine

Use only approved DDS cartridges in the Scorpion 240. Approved Seagate cartridges are listed on page A-37. To load cartridges into the magazine, follow these steps:

1.Make sure that the cartridges are write protected or write enabled, as necessary. See page A-37 for details.

2.Hold the magazine so that the slot numbers on the side of the magazine are right-side-up.
