Operating the 5157 ACL Tape Drive 6-33

Initial Screen - ‘From’ Line

The list on line 2 in Figure 6-26 (the ‘From’ line) will include the

drive and every magazine slot that has a cartridge in it ( a cartridge

cannot be selected from a slot or drive that is empty).

Initial Screen - ‘To’ Line

The list on line 4 of Figure 6-26 (the ‘To’ line) will include all of the

valid destination choices, that is, all slots that are empty ( a

cartridge cannot be placed into a slot or drive which already has one

in it). If the drive is empty, it will appear on this list.

Scroll List - ‘To’ Line

There is another limitation on the ‘To’ list. If the drive has been

selected on the ‘From’ screen, the ‘To’ list can include only slots. If

a slot has been selected on the ‘From’ screen, the ‘To’ list can

contain only the drive.

Assume that the operator wants to unload the cartridge that is in

DLT1 into any available slot. Use the ù button to scroll line two

back up to DLT1. The display appears as shown in Figure 6-27.
