Library Operation

Loading Cartridges Into the Library

Tape cartridges can be loaded either through the mailslot or through the bulk

load access door.

•Using the

mailslot

allows the bar code label on a tape cartridge to be

read and a storage slot location assigned and read into memory

immediately.

•Using the

bulk load access door

allows several cartridges to be quickly

loaded into storage slots. The bar codes and storage slot locations are

stored in library memory when the door is closed and the Inventory

Check test runs automatically (the test takes about one minute).

NOTE Label all cartridges before inserting them into the library. (See “Labeling Tape

Cartridges” on page 3-4 for instructions.)

Some software packages require that cartridges be inserted and removed

using the software. If a software package manages files in the library, check

the software documentation before proceeding.
