The following sections deal with 1/2 inch cartridge tape drive
problems.
Always try to recover the cartridge from the 1/2 inch cartridge
tape drive before you try to correct any problems with the drive.
1. Vary the tape drive offline. (Refer to the "Power off the 1/2
inch cartridge tape drive" section of chapter 7, "Offline
printing tasks.")
2. If there is a relevant message on the printer control console,
PC UI, or system controller display, perform the action
described there.
3. If there is an error code on the tape drive message display,
record the error code and time and call for service.
An error occurred during the IPL procedure if:
1. The Alert indicator flashes on the 18 track drive or the three
indicator lights (Read only, Ready, and Mode) flash on the
18/36 track drive.
2. An error code displays after you power on the tape drive.
Re-IPL the tape drive using one of the following procedures:
• Turn off the tape drive by pressing the Power switch to OFF.
• Wait 10 seconds and then turn the tape drive back on by
pressing the Power switch to ON.
• For the 18 track drive, depress and hold the Scroll, Select,
and Unload buttons for at least five seconds.
