Illustrated menu option and navigation examples

The following examples illustrate how to use the menu options and navigation buttons to open mailslots
and to move media. Subsequent menu options described in this chapter do not include step-by-step
instructions.
Opening mailslots (Operations > Open Mailslots)
The mailslots are used only with host system software that supports this feature. The mailslot feature
allows you to insert or remove up to three tapes for the MSL4048 and MSL8084, or up to 15 tapes
for the MSL8096.
Left magazines are available without mailslots, with one mailslot, or with three mailslots. The MSL4048,
MSL8048, and MSL8096 Tape Libraries are shipped with the 3-mailslot magazine on the lower left
side. Mailslot-capable left magazines are marked with a white dot on the lower right corner that aligns
with a white dot on the front bezel, as shown in
other than the lower-left location will result in the magazine being treated as a magazine with no
mailslots.
