Operational Considerations

To optimize HandBot operations:

■

Mount scratch tapes- selects cartridges based on the LSM (rail)

■

Enter cartridges from the CAP to the closest LSM with free slots

■

The software tries to enter the cartridge to an LSM (rail) adjacent to the CAP.

■

The software also tries to eject the cartridge to the CAP adjacent to the LSM.

Note –

When HandBot optimization is not possible by the host, the library controller

manages the moving of cartridges using a pass-thru operation (elevator).
