3.1.2.5 If You Have Problems
If the TZ30 tape drive fails, read the following information. It may help
you resolve the problem.
Recoverable Errors During Tape Motion
If a drive error occurs during an operation, you may be able to clear the
fault, reset the drive, rewind, unload, and remove the tape cartridge. Try
another tape cartridge to determine if the TZ30 or the tape cartridge is at
fault.
Clearing a Recoverable Error
If all three LEDs are blinking (indicating that an error has occurred), press
the unload button. If the detected error is recoverable, the tape will begin
to rewind. While the tape is rewinding, the yellow LED blinks. When the
tape has unloaded, the drive will beep twice and the green LED will light.
You can then move the cartridge lever to the unlock position to eject the
tape cartridge.
