For example, a 5/3B/0D error states that an illegal request was initiated that
resulted in a "medium destination element full" error being reported by the library.
Selecting log entry 012 provides detailed sense data for this failure. Information on
sense data is listed in Appendix D, "Sense Data," on page D-1.
For example, in log entry 010, a [0222] error states that the library cannot eject
medium because drive is in state of Prevent Media Removal. Information on errors
and action to resolve the problem are listed in Appendix B, "Error Codes," on
page B-1.
