2. Grasp the magazine at the top (near cartridge slot 7) and pull out, as shown
in Figure 4-1 .
If the magazine does not release easily, the autoloader’s security setting may
be turned on or the robot’s gripper may be holding a cartridge. Check the
security setting and disable security, if necessary (see page 31 ).
If you suspect the robot’s gripper is holding a cartridge, power the
autoloader off and back on.
Caution
Do not force the magazine out of the autoloader. Doing so may damage the
magazine or the robot.
