Troubleshooting Guide
Cartridge is Loaded and Seated with Tape Threaded
If the cartridge is loaded and seated, and the tape is entirely or partially threaded into the drive, fol-
low these steps. To perform these steps you will need a small, flat-blade screwdriver and a 1.5-mm
hex wrench. Figure 23 on page 79 shows key components of the drive mechanism that are referred
to in the following procedure.
NOTE: Do not touch any part of the drive mechanism except for the components specified in the
instructions. Be especially careful not to touch the tape head assembly. The MR elements in this
assembly are highly susceptible to damage from static electricity.

to clear the head assembly when it is moved back toward the cartridge.
