7.4.6 Barcode reader
The barcode reader provides inventory feedback to the host application and/or LCD screen by
reading the cartridge barcode labels. The loader stores the customized inventory data in
memory.
7.5
Magazines
Cartridges are stored in magazines. Up to 4 cartridges can be stored in each magazine.
Magazines may be removed and inserted individually.
The actiLib Autoloader 1U tape loader has two removable magazines in the 1U loader (see
and Figure 25). Magazine access can be password protected. For safety reasons, the
robotic motion is stopped when a magazine is removed. See section 7.6.6.4
The magazines can be released using the Operator Control Panel (OCP) or the Remote
Management Unit (RMU).
In case the OCP or RMU initiated process has failed or the loader no longer has power, a
manual emergency release is available. See section 8.1.10.
