Although the autoloader has effective methods for resuming operation, it is
best to avoid interruptions when the autoloader is operating in Sequential
mode. In particular:
! Do not reset or power cycle the autoloader unless absolutely necessary .
Reset the autoloader only to clear certain autoloader error conditions and
power off the autoloader only to perform maintenance or to store it. Avoid
resetting or power cycling the autoloader when a cartridge is in the drive or
the robot.
! Do not remove the magazine unless absolutely necessary . During
operation, remove the magazine only after the autoloader has processed all
the cartridges. Never force the magazine. The autoloader will not release the
magazine until it has completed a cartridge move or load already in
progress. Certain applications may also prevent the magazine from being
removed.
!
Do not remove a cartridge from the drive or insert a cartridge into the
drive . If you want to remove a cartridge, wait until the robot has placed it in
the magazine before removing it. If you want to add a cartridge, add it
directly to the magazine.
