3.3.1 Normal Autoloader Operating Status Messages
3.3.1.1 Status messages that appear on the LCD cover five functional fields of the autoloader's
operation. Only one field at a time controls the LCD text display. The function fields
always appear in this order.
At power on, the Reset state has control of the LCD.
After the self-test has been passed, this state has
control of the LCD if a firmware upgrade is taking
place.
If no upgrade is being performed, control of the
LCD passes to the Magazine Load state, and
remains there until a magazine has been loaded.
After a magazine has been loaded, control of LCD
passes to the Cartridge Load state until a cartridge
has been moved to the drive and loaded.
Once a tape has been loaded, the Tape Motion
state covers activity involving the tape, including
reading and writing data.
