The following sections deal with 1/2 inch cartridge tape drive
problems.
Always try to recover the cartridge from the 1/2 inch cartridge tape
drive before you try to correct any problems with the drive. Follow
these basic recovery steps:
Step 1. Vary the tape drive offline. (Refer to "Power off the 18/36 track 1/2
inch cartridge tape drive" section of chapter 6, "Offline printing
tasks.")
Step 2. If there is a relevant message on the printer control console or
system controller display, perform the action described there.
Step 3. If there is an error code on the tape drive message display, record the
error code and time and call for service.
An error occurred during the IPL procedure if:
•
The three indicator lights (Read only, Ready, and Mode) flash
on the 18/36 track drive
•
An error code displays after you power on the tape drive.
Re-IPL the tape drive using one of the following procedures:
•
Turn off the tape drive by pressing the Power switch to OFF.
•
Wait 10 seconds and then turn the tape drive back on by
pressing the Power switch to ON
