autoloader automatically detects the presence of a cartridge in the
magazine slot.
Note: On the front panel menu, whenever you see
means the cartridge enters and leaves the autoloader through
the mailslot. Whenever you see
cartridge is loaded into or unloaded from the tape drive.
If you try to perform an illegal operation, the autoloader refuses to
perform the operation. For example, if you try to load a cartridge through
the mailslot to the drive, but the drive already contains a cartridge, the
mailslot does not unlock. If you try to unload a cartridge from the drive
while the autoloader is writing to the tape, the command will not be
initiated until the write command is completed.
Warning: If a tape cartridge is holding the mailslot door open on
power up, the robot will not move. The system detects
that the mailslot door is open but cannot detect the
presence of the cartridge. If the mailslot door is open, the
bar code scanner laser light may shine out the door and
potentially cause physical injury.
Warning: With the mailslot door open, do not insert your hand
through the mailslot door. This is to prevent bodily injury
from the robot. Precautions are in place to prevent the
robotic mechanism functioning in this circumstance.
If the tape cartridge is holding the mailslot door open
Warning:
during operation, the system keeps track of the tape
movement and continues robotic motion. This can occur if
the robot ejects the cartridge out through the mailslot
door.
