Inserting a Tape
into the TZ30
To insert the TZ30 tape into the drive (Figure 5–12):
1. If the cartridge lever on the drive is in the lock position,
move the lever to the unlock position .
2. Set the Write Protect switch on the tape cartridge that
you wish to insert to either the write-protected or
write-enabled position.
3. Insert the tape cartridge .
The green light comes on.
Once you have inserted the cartridge more than halfway into
the drive, you must complete this procedure. If you wish
to use another cartridge, complete this procedure and then
perform the unload procedure to remove the tape.
If you encounter resistance when attempting to insert the
tape cartridge into the TZ30, remove the tape from the drive
and move the cartridge lever to the lock position. Now move
the cartridge lever back to the unlock position and reinsert
the cartridge.
4. Move the cartridge lever to the lock position , which locks
the tape cartridge into the drive.
The green light goes off and the yellow light begins to blink,
which indicates that the tape is loading. When the tape is
loaded (ready for use), the yellow light remains on and the
green light remains off.
