Run Inventory
The SuperLoader provides a method to keep track of the cartridges currently
loaded in the magazines. If your SuperLoader is equipped with a barcode reader, it
can scan the cartridge barcode labels and store the data in its non-volatile memory.
The SuperLoader automatically runs an inventory whenever you power it on or
insert a magazine.
To take inventory:
1. On the main menu, scroll to Command.
2. Press Enter.
3. On the Command submenu, scroll to Inventory.
4. Press Enter.
Set Data Compression
You can set the SuperLoader to write data to the tape in its native (uncompressed)
format or to compress it. Compressing the data means that the SuperLoader can
typically write twice as much data to the same amount of tape. Actual
compression may vary, depending on the type of data being backed up.
Compression also increases the performance of the data transfers from or to the
SCSI bus.
Typically you will want to leave this option enabled.
