To unload a tape cartridge:
1 Press the Unload button.
2 The yellow "Tape in Use" light flashes while the tape
is rewound.
This could take up to 2 minutes, depending where on
the tape the drive was last reading or writing.
3 Wait for the beeper to sound (not on DLT 80 drives)
and the green "Operate Handle" light to be lit.
4 Pull the Cartridge Locking Handle so that it swings
up.
5 Remove the cartridge and replace it in its plastic case.
Replace the cartridge in its case immediately to
protect it from dust.
6 Push the Cartridge Locking Handle so that it swings
down.
Caution Make a habit of pushing the handle down after you
remove a cartridge. If the tape drive is powered down
with the handle up, the drive will not accept a
cartridge until you have pushed the handle down and
up twice.
