Figure 3: Library magazines
Looking from the front of the library, each left tape magazine includes a mail slot,
which is accessible when that magazine door is open. When this mail slot pivots
forward, you can insert or remove a single tape without having to unlock, remove,
and reinventory the magazine. If a full tape cartridge magazine is required, the
library can be reconfigured to recognize each mail slot as a standard data slot. The
right tape magazine contains fixed cartridge slots (no mail slot feature), so it
retains its full capacity at all times.
