Tips & Tricks
Whenever you see Enter or Eject on the
front panel menu, it means the tape
enters and leaves the autoloader through
the mailslot. Whenever you see Load or
Unload, it means the tape is loaded into
or unloaded from the tape drive.
Typically, when you first install the autoloader, you load your cartridges into the
magazines, then load the magazines into the autoloader. However, you can
insert and eject cartridges individually using the mailslot, or you can eject a
magazine, manually load and unload cartridges, then load the magazine back
into the autoloader. The autoloader automatically detects the presence of a
cartridge in the magazine slot.
Warning
If a tape cartridge is holding the mailslot
door open on power up, the robot cannot
move. The system detects that the
mailslot door is open but cannot detect
the presence of the tape. If the mailslot
door is open, the bar code scanner laser
light may shine out the door and
potentially cause physical injury.
With the mailslot door open, do not insert
your hand through the mailslot door. This
is to prevent bodily injury from the robot.
Precautions are in place to prevent the
robotic mechanism functioning in this
circumstance.
If you try to perform an illegal operation, the autoloader refuses to perform the
operation. For example, if you try to load a cartridge through the mailslot to the
drive but the drive already contains a cartridge, the mailslot does not unlock.
If you try to unload a cartridge from the drive while the autoloader is writing
to the tape, the command is not initiated until the write command is completed.
