2. Replace the drive cover to protect the gear and spooling assemblies. You do not
need to replace all the screws.
3. Turn the drive upside down.
4. Insert the 1.5-mm hex wrench through the hole in the bottom plate shown in
Figure 20. Turn the hex wrench clockwise slowly and smoothly to rewind the
tape into the cartridge. This may take some time.
Caution: If you turn the hex wrench quickly or unevenly, you may create a tape
loop, which could cause tape contamination.
