Refer to the explanation of the LED and LCD
indicators (if any) in the User’s Guide.

• If a cleaning request is indicated, clean the

drive and attempt the backup process
again. If the same error occurs again,
replace the data cartridge.

• If an error is indicated (ERRxx, for

example), there may be a problem with the
drive. Replace the drive.

If the cartridge is not ejected even though the
automatic ejection setting is made in the backup
software, the backup process may not have been
performed correctly.

See numbers 4 through 6.

If the cartridge is not ejected even though the
EJECT button is pressed, the EJECT function
may be locked by the backup software.

• Exit the backup software.
• Restart the system.
• Turn the power off, and then turn it on

again.

The drive may have detected a problem and is
not allowing the cartridge to be ejected.

• Some drives eject the cartridge when you

press and hold the EJECT button for a
certain time (five or ten seconds).

• Restart the system.
• Turn the power off, and then turn it on

again.

The cartridge may be jammed in the drive.
(Even if you press the EJECT button longer
than the prescribed time.)

• If a cartridge jams in a drive, the head,

drum, or various guide pins may be
damaged. Replace the drive.
