DIGITAL TLZ09/TLZ10 Cassette Tape Drive and TLZ9L/TLZ1L Autoloader Owner's Manual 7–31
Using the TLZ9L/TLZ1L Cassette Tape Autoloader
•
Place single cleaning cartridge into slot 8 of magazine (other slots
are empty).
•
Insert the magazine into the autoloader.
•
If the autoload function is disabled (default), you will need to
push the Select button to select slot 8. For the TLZ9L, after 5
seconds, the cleaning tape will be loaded into the drive and a
cleaning cycle will be executed. For the TLZ1L, the Enter button
will need to be pushed when prompted. After successful cleaning,
the cartridge will be returned to the magazine and the magazine
will be ejected from the autoloader.
•
If the autoload function is enabled, the autoloader will
automatically load the cartridge into the drive, execute the
cleaning cycle, then return the cartridge to the magazine, and eject
the magazine.
•
Place the cleaning cartridge into any magazine slot along with
data cartridges appropriate for the mode of operation (i.e. 7
cartridge mode, or 8 cartridge mode).
•
Insert the magazine into the autoloader.
•
Use the select button for the TLZ9L or the select button then the
enter button for the TLZ1L to select the slot with the cleaning
cartridge.
•
Autoloader will load the cartridge into the drive, execute the
cleaning cycle, then return the cartridge to the magazine.
•
If you then press the select button once, it will select the next
sequential data cartridge after the data cartridge that was loaded
into the drive last. (i.e. If you had cartridge 3 loaded, then pushed
the select button to select and load the cleaning cartridge from its
slot, the next time you push the select button after the cleaning
cycle has completed, it will load cartridge 4.).
•
Place the cleaning cartridge into any magazine slot along with
data cartridges.
•
Execute sequential backup via chosen software utility.
•
When EOD is reached and reported to host, host will issue
UNLOAD command for each cartridge. This will cause the next
sequential cartridge to be automatically loaded into the drive. If
this is a cleaning cartridge, a cleaning cycle will be executed and
the cleaning cartridge will automatically be put back into the
magazine. The next cartridge will then be automatically loaded
into the drive to continue backup operation.
•
Host sends the MOVE MEDIUM command to move the cleaning
cartridge from the magazine to the drive.
