CAUTION
Always remove the tape cartridge from the tape system BEFORE turning off host

plastic case to protect the cartridge from damage.

leader of the cartridge is in a safe position for cartridge removal.

When the green Operate Handle indicator illuminates steadily, lift the tape system
cartridge Insert/Release handle to its open position to eject the cartridge.
