Removing Tape Cartridges
Removing Tape Cartridges
1. Press the
Eject
button on the front panel.
2. The tape drive completes any task it is currently performing, winds the tape to the
beginning, and ejects the cartridge. The sequence takes about 25 seconds for a
write-enabled cartridge and 10 seconds for a write-protected cartridge.
Caution.
Never try to remove a tape cartridge before it is fully ejected.
