Magazine Doors
The magazine doors have both an electrical release (via the GUI touch screen) and
a manual release. It is always recommended that you open the magazine doors
using the GUI touch screen. However, if the GUI touch screen fails, or if the
magazines need to be accessed when power is off, you can manually open the
magazine doors by pushing a small metal pin or paper clip into the mechanical
releases (see Figure 34).
