Overview
During the course of normal operations, it may become
necessary to add or remove storage cartridges to or from the
library. Two methods are available to insert or eject storage
cartridges. Information is also supplied about processing the
media and using cleaning media.
Inserting Media
Placing new media into the library is accomplished by using
the Insert/Eject Station. Alternately, the cartridge could be
placed directly into a specific storage cell location by the
Operator.
