Note: A blue release gate (
in the cartridge magazine prevents each cartridge from falling out of the
front of the magazine. When manually releasing the gate with one hand,
position your other hand in front of the column opening to prevent
cartridges being ejected by the internal column spring.
Note: Column 5 Tier 2 is reserved as the exchange position. This position is
accessible by the library only. A locking mechanism prevents insertion of
a cartridge into the reserved slot.
Each cartridge must be inserted with the indicator arrow on the leading edge of
the upper surface of the cartridge pointing towards the cartridge magazine (see
Figure 3-33 on page 3-32).
Note: Do not rely on the bar code label orientation, if attached, to provide an
indication of the correct cartridge orientation. The bar code label should
be right side up if attached correctly.
