Cartridges window for the next Insert operation.
Note: When you return to the Manual mode Action List (Figure 242 on page 387),
if you inserted J - or K -type media in a 3494 Tape Library capable of Export

(Figure 150 on page 250) opens automatically.
Ejecting Cartridges
Perform the following steps to remove a cartridge from the 3494 Tape Library:
1. From the Action List window (Figure 242 on page 387), determine the drive
(device) or storage cell From location containing the cartridge that you want to
eject.
2.
Go to the drive or storage cell and remove the cartridge. Verify that the
cartridge volser matches the volser specified on the Action List.
Note:
a. If the From location is a tape drive, remove the cartridge from the
tape drive.
b. If a ? follows the From location, the cartridge has already been used
in Manual mode. If the cartridge is not present in the indicated From
location, look in the location where you are storing demounted
cartridges (for example, the high-capacity output area).
