APPENDIX B: ERROR CODES AND MESSAGES
Error Code Cause and Action
Firmware or hardware problem. The tape drive determined that a firmware or tape drive
hardware failure occurred.
Tape drive hardware problem. The drive determined that a tape path or read/write error
occurred. To prevent damage to the drive or tape, you cannot insert a cartridge if the
current cartridge was successfully ejected. The error code might clear when you cycle
power to the Qi.
Tape drive or media error. The tape drive determined that an error occurred, but it
cannot isolate the error to faulty hardware or to the tape cartridge.
Media error. The tape drive determined that an error occurred because of a faulty tape
cartridge or an invalid tape cartridge. Drive does not accept an expired cleaning cartridge.
Interface problem. The tape drive determined that a failure occurred in the tape drive's
hardware or in the host bus.
Tape drive or RS-422 error. The tape drive determined that a failure occurred in the tape
drive's hardware or in the RS-422 connection.
