The operating mode determines how the autoloader processes cartridges.

There are two operating modes:

commands issued from an application.

Sequential–The autoloader processes cartridges sequentially without

direction from an application.

To customize how sequential mode works, you can set the Restart and Loop

options:

Restart option. The Restart option determines what the autoloader does

after it is reset or power cycled. The autoloader can either restart at the

beginning of the cartridge sequence (Restart option ON) or resume

where it left off when the interruption occurred (Restart option OFF).
