Inserting and Removing Tapes

Grip and insert your tape minicartridge. Push past the spring resistance
of the drive until the minicartridge snaps into place, leaving about 3 cm
(about 1 in) still outside the drive. To remove the tape minicartridge
from the drive, grip as before and pull it straight out of the drive. Do
not remove the minicartridge if the drive activity light is on and
blinking. Remove tapes when not in use.
