If errors occur on multiple known good cartridges, consider
cleaning the tape drive. See Cleaning the Tape Drive
on page 32 for
instructions.
If a particular cartridge causes error conditions repeatedly, that
cartridge may be defective or invalid.
Occasionally, you may see the message “In Transit,” which may
indicate:
• An error condition has caused a cartridge to be left between its
slot and the drive.
• A cartridge is unexpectedly found in the Import/Export slot
opening.
If either condition occurs, reset or power cycle the ValueLoader to
clear the condition.
If the tape drive has a cartridge loaded, the top line displays
“Drive loaded.” The cartridge currently loaded in the drive is
indicated by an alternating black block and the slot number as
shown in figure 10
. This display can also indicate that the specified
cartridge is being loaded, unloaded, imported, or exported as well
as indications of reading, writing, calibrating, etc. The
ValueLoader status line indicates the current operation.

alternates between a
