1.
When the green Operate Handle indicator is steadily illuminated, lift the tape
system’s cartridge Insert/Release handle.
NOTE
If the green Operate Handle indicator is blinking, close the handle and wait for
the indicator to illuminate steadily, then lift the handle and insert the cartridge.
Do not attempt to load a cartridge when the green Operate Handle indicator is
blinking; damage to the system may result.
2.
Insert the cartridge. Push the cartridge fully into the tape system.
CAUTION
To prevent failures and/or damage to the handle, assist the handle to its closed
position. Do not flip it or otherwise treat it roughly. Do not leave your fingers
under the handle: doing so may cause you to operate the handle in an incorrect
manner.
3.
Push the handle to its closed (down) position.
The green Operate Handle indictor extinguishes and the yellow Tape in Use indicator
blinks to show that the tape is loading. When the tape reaches the BOT marker,
following calibration, the yellow indicator illuminates steadily. The tape is now ready for
use.
