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.
