Unlocking the mailslot (Unlock Mailslot)
The mailslot in the left magazine is used only with host system software that supports this feature.
The mailslot feature allows you to insert or remove a single tape without removing the entire
magazine. The benefit of using a mailslot is that the device will not inventory the rest of the slots
in the magazine so the device can return to service sooner. The mailslot is in the left magazine.
NOTE:
The Unlock Mailslot menu is only displayed when the mailslot is enabled. To enable
the mailslot, see
“Configuring the mailslot (Configuration > Configure Mailslot)” (page 97)
To access the mailslot:
1.
From the Home screen, press
Next
until the screen displays
Unlock Mailslot
. Press
Enter
to select.
2.
The mailslot ejects automatically. Pull the mailslot out to access the tape (see
“Removing a
tape from the mailslot” (page 92)
).
3.
The screen displays
Close Mailslot
.
4.
Remove the tape cartridge from the mailslot and insert a different tape cartridge.
5.
Push the magazine back into the device.
