Performing an Inventory
The Inventory Tapes command reads the bar code labels of the cartridges in the
tape drives, fixed storage bins, and the load port bins. All elements that contain
cartridges without labels are marked as full with no label.
To perform an inventory:
1. Press the Inventory Tapes button in the Operator screen. The control panel
displays a Command In Progress screen.
2. Press the Abort button to stop continuous running of the inventory process.
Otherwise, the process will continue until all storage elements have been
inventoried.
Note: The inventory process is also stopped if an error is detected or if the rear door is
opened. In this case, the control panel displays an error message.
