Library Operation
Troubleshooting
Resolving Other Problems
This section provides information on solutions to problems that may occur in
the operation of the library. Table 3-5 lists steps to take before consulting a
service representative.
NOTE If a service call is needed, write down the library serial number before
calling. The serial number is located on a label at the bottom of the library
behind the left side access panel when facing the front of the library. (The
access panel must be removed to see the label.)
For problems that may be related to the host, refer to the host system
documentation or library application software instructions.
