Running an inventory
The autoloader automatically runs an inventory whenever you turn it on or
insert a magazine. An inventory checks each magazine slot, the drive, the picker
(the mechanism that grabs the tape from the library and moves it to the drive),
and the mailslot to determine if a cartridge is present. If a cartridge is present,
the autoloader also reads the bar code label, if available. If you need to run an
additional inventory, you can do it manually.
