Autoloader Operating Modes

The autoloader has operational modes that affect how the autoloader loads tapes into the drive.The
operating mode is set based on whether you have automation software controlling cartridges in the
autoloader or if you are manually loading and unloading cartridges using the autoloader operator panel
controls.
The autoloader always operates in autodetect mode. In autodetect, the autoloader automatically assumes
you are not using automation software to control cartridge or drive activity. This mode is called sequential
mode. If the autoloader detects that the automation software is controlling tape drive activity, it automatically
switches to random mode.
