Control Mode

You can set the SuperLoader to either Sequential, Random, Mixed, or Seq Cycle
Mode. The default control mode is Random.
The Sequential mode supports certain backup applications that do not manage
media. During backup, when one cartridge is read or written to the end of the tape,
the SuperLoader automatically returns that cartridge to its slot and loads the
cartridge from the next higher numbered slot to the tape drive to be read or written
to. This continues until the backup software stops accessing the drive or until all
the cartridges have been sequentially accessed.
In Random control mode you can specify which cartridge you want to use and
where you want it to go. You will probably use this mode the most.
