This option builds a new inventory of cartridges in the ValueLoader. If
using a bar code reader, this option also scans the bar code label on each
cartridge in the carousel (see Bar Code Reader on page 3). To use this
option, follow these steps:
1 From the Home Screen or main menu, press the
[+]
or
[-]
button until
Commands
appears on the top line of the LCD screen.
2 Press the
[Enter]
button to access the available options.
3 Press the
[+]
or
[-]
button until
Re-inventory
appears on the LCD
screen. Then, press
[Enter]
.
The ValueLoader then checks the drive and each slot for the presence
of a tape in order to update inventory information.
Note: If the cartridge is not a valid cleaning cartridge, the LCD
screen will display
Bad clean tape
and the cartridge is
exported.
Note: If the Clean Drive or Media Attention LED is illuminated
again when you insert another cartridge immediately after
cleaning, see Troubleshooting on page 46.
