The is next to the line that reads ‘Load/Unload.’ Press the
Enter

Load/Unload submenu, which is shown in Figure 3-26.
Figure 3-26 Load/Unload Initial Screen
In Figure 3-26, the is next to line 2 of the display. Line 2 shows the top item in a scrollable
list of sources. Note that a has appeared on the right of the bottom line. This indicates that
the button may now be used to scroll through the list, and that the top item on the list is
displayed. As soon as you press the
θ
button, three things happen.
•
the list scrolls down one item (only line 2 scrolls)
•
a appears on the right of line 1 of the display. This indicates that there is one or more
items above the item displayed on line 2.
•
The
✱
at the left of line 2 disappears. This is because the
✱
indicates the current selection
or the default selection, and you have scrolled the default selection offscreen, and haven’t
yet selected an item from the list.
Note: The contents of the lists on line 2 and line 4 will vary as follows.
Initial Screen - ‘From’ Line
The list on line 2 in Figure 3-26 (the ‘From’ line) will include every drive and every magazine
slot (including mail slots) that has a cartridge in it (you can’t get a cartridge from a slot or
drive that is empty).
Initial Screen - ‘To’ Line
The list on line 4 of Figure 3-26 (the ‘To’ line) will include all of the valid destination choices,
that is, drives and slots that are empty (you can’t put a cartridge into a slot or drive which
already has one in it.)
Scroll List - ‘To’ Line
There is another limitation on the ‘To’ list. If you have selected a drive on the ‘From’ screen,
the ‘To’ list can include only slots. If you have selected a slot on the ‘From’ screen, the ‘To’
list can contain only drives.
Let us assume that you want to load the cartridge that is in Slot 4 into any available drive.
Use the button to scroll line two to Slot 4. The display appears as shown in Figure 3-27.
