Option submode
Some changer functions may be selected at user request. In
order to allow system administrators to make the most of
the features provided by changer control software and
database management software, optional functions may be
selected as needed. Note that requirements concerning
security levels or operations performed at the time of errors
may also change depending on the location in which the
changer has been installed, and that options should be
selected accordingly.
Option submode may be used to specify the following optional
functions.
1. Auto probing (Set OFF at the time of shipment)
2. Hot start (Set OFF at the time of shipment)
3. Auto eject (Set ON at the time of shipment)
4. Hyper I/E (Set ON at the time of shipment)
5. Alert buzzer (Set ON at the time of shipment)
6. Free message (Set OFF at the time of shipment)
1. Auto probing
It is possible that discs have been inserted into normal-type
50-disc magazines and hyper magazines before these
magazines are inserted into the changer. But it does not mean
that these imported discs are ready to use because the
changer and the host computer have not recognized yet which
slot holds a disc or not. Therefore the first thing to do is
examining which slot a disc is in, that is called probing.
While this probing function is usually performed by the
changer control software running on the host computer, in
cases where users wish to perform this before connecting
the changer to the host computer or in cases where the
changer control software being used does not support such
probing function, probe submode (see p. 36) may be used
instead. Using probe submode, however, may be
inconvenient since it requires that all of the disc magazines
to be checked be specified one by one.
Auto probing may be used to have the changer automatically
check all disc magazines which need to be checked to
determine whether or not discs have been inserted.
Operation
Press the ENT key
≠
Press the | key to set to ON
≠
Press the ENT key
≠
(Note that an “Auto probing is prohibited” message will
be displayed if auto probing is set to OFF.)
Note that even after switching auto probing function from
OFF to ON, auto probing will not actually be performed until
a reset is performed, a hyper magazine is inserted or the
mechanism initialization is finished after access doors are
closed.
When auto probing begins, the changer will begin to check
whether all slots of the disc magazines to be checked in
sequence to determine whether they are “empty” or “full”.
To turn auto probing temporarily off, turn the key switch to
UNLOCK position and press the ESC key.
NOTES:
¶ It takes approximately 2 minutes to check a 50-disc
magazine.
¶ Some commands from the host computer cannot be
executed while auto probing is being performed.
