unloaded.
Becoming Ready - A media access command was received during a front panel initiated
load or an immediate reported load command.
Initializing Command Required - A cartridge is present in the drive, but is not logically
loaded. A Load command is required.
Manual Intervention Required - A cartridge is present in the drive but could not be
loaded or unloaded without manual intervention.
Write Error - A Write operation has failed. This is probably due to bad media, but may be
hardware related.
