Loading the 1/4-Inch Tape Cartridge

A diagram inside the drive door shows how to load a tape. To load a tape cartridge, push
the unload button. When the button is pushed, the front panel of the drive partially opens
towards the front of the system unit.
1. Pull the front panel open all the way to the flat position, where it will stay without having
to be held open.
2. Insert the cartridge into the drive opening with the window side of the cartridge towards
your left. Gently push the cartridge into the drive opening until the cartridge stops.
