the status of the Autoloader or the current menu title and option.

the ready state.
The numbers on the top line show that slots 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 have tapes in them, slots
6 and 7 are empty, and tape 4 is in the drive.

■
If a tape is in the drive, the number remains lit and is underlined (tape 4 in the
example).
■
If the slots or the Autoloader is empty, the top line reads
