number of situations, including power-on, after the door has been opened then
closed, as part of the Send Diagnostic command, when requested from the operator
panel, and as part of a recovery during certain failures.

library is in maintenance mode, or the library is in an inoperable state.

reinitialize and go into a ready state.
·If the library is in an inoperable state, reinitialize the library using the operator
■
panel.
·If the library is in maintenance mode, take the library out of this mode using the
■
operator panel or CSE port.
