This mode is similar to Sequential except the source and destination
cartridge locations are separate and distinct.
The tape drive is available for normal library cartridge movement operations
to and from the drive under host computer control. The drive and cartridges
must be within an enabled logical library partition.
The Recycle mode shares the attributes of the Sequential mode. It has the
additional feature of automatically restarting the cartridge movement cycle
after the last cartridge in the drive's location set has been returned.
The tape drive is dedicated to receiving cartridges under changer control.

If a cartridge is in the tape drive at power-on or after an inventory violation,
the previous input and output slots are invalidated. If after the library
completes an inventory scan and finds the input and output slots are both
valid, the library attempts to continue from where it left off. If the input and
output slots are both invalid, the library will search at the beginning of the
set for the first empty slot. It will then restart using the next tape that was
found after the first empty slot in the input set. In any other case the library
will stop.
