SuperLoader
(SuperLoader DLT and SuperLoader LTO)
Quick Start Guide
Note:
If a magazine blank is installed, it does not need to
be ejected. Instead, it can be installed/removed by sliding
it in/out using the handle.
b.
Load tape cartridges into the magazine(s).
(1)
Using the dials on the magazine, move the slot conveyor
belt within the magazine until a slot lines up with one of
the six openings on the other side of the magazine.
(2)
Correctly orient the cartridge for insertion in the slot.
(3)
Insert the cartridge into the slot. As you push the
cartridge in, you will feel some resistance until the
cartridge latches into the slot.

Note:
Each slot has a keying feature that prevents the
cartridge from being inserted incorrectly.
(4)
Repeat this procedure until all tape cartridges have been
loaded into the magazine(s).
Note:
You can remove a tape cartridge in the same
manner as you insert it. Use the dials on the magazine
to line up the desired tape cartridge with one of the
openings on the other side of the magazine. Then, using
your thumb and index finger, pull out the cartridge.
You will feel a little resistance as you begin to pull but
continue until the cartridge comes free.
c.
Install the magazine(s) into the SuperLoader.
(1)
Grasp the magazine by the handle with one hand and
support it from underneath with the other hand.
(2)
Position the magazine correctly in the SuperLoader. The
magazine can only be inserted into the SuperLoader in
the correct orientation.
(3)
Push the magazine in until it clicks and locks into place.
(4)
Repeat this procedure to install a second magazine as
appropriate.
The SuperLoader performs an auto-inventory of the
tape cartridges in the magazine(s). Once completed, the
SuperLoader is ready for normal operation.
Note:
These instructions are for both the SuperLoader
LTO and SuperLoader DLT due to the nature of
their similarities. Many component parts are not
interchangeable. These include the magazines, cartridges,
drive carrier assembly, magazine blank, magazine handle,
and the barcode scanner. Please order the appropriate
part numbers when replacing these items.
Caution:
When removing magazines or blanks, be
certain that no robotic operations are in process.
Failure to do so will stop the robot.
