Operating the LSM in Automated Mode
When the LSM is online and operating in automated mode, it performs many
tasks that you would otherwise perform manually. However, to keep the LSM
operating efficiently while the robot is mounting and dismounting cartridges,
you may need to do the following:
• Monitor your operator console and the LSM operator panel for messages
and respond appropriately
• Load cartridges into the LSM through the cartridge access port (CAP)
• Eject cartridges from the LSM through the CAP
• Replace cleaning cartridges
The instructions on the following pages describe how to perform these
activities.
