stops to prevent accidental overwrite of data unless the continuous cycle
switch is set. See Section 7.5.1. Then the magazine may be unloaded.
In Random Access mode, the loader responds to all of the SCSI Random Access
commands.
7.4.2 Manual Operations
Manual operations are performed from the front of the autoloader.
To load a magazine, press the eject button. This opens the drawer and ejects
any magazine that is in the drive. Then place the magazine in the mouth of
the loader until the rollers engage the magazine. The loader automatically
scans the magazine to make sure the cassettes are loaded correctly and to
count the number of cassettes loaded. The loader displays the number of
cassettes loaded. If a 4-cartridge magazine is installed, the drawer closes. If
a 12-cartridge magazine is installed, the drawer latches in the open position.
When using a 12-cartridge magazine, take care to ensure adequate clearance
below the loader (or beside the loader if vertically mounted) to allow the
magazine to move freely to all available slots.
To load a cassette, press the slot button. Press it once to load the first cassette,
twice to load the second cassette, and so on. If you make a mistake, continue
pressing the slot button until the desired slot number is shown on the dot
matrix display. When you press the slot button, the loader displays the
selected slot and allows some time for changes. Then the selected slot is
automatically loaded and the drive becomes ready.
To eject the magazine, press the eject button. This ejects any cassette that
is into the drive, opens the drawer, and ejects the magazine. Then you can
remove the magazine.
7.4.3 Single Cassette Operation
If a magazine is in the drive, eject the magazine. When the mouth of the
loader is empty, you can load a single cassette directly in the drive. The drive
will accept the cassette and load it.
To eject the cassette, press the eject button. The cassette moves into the mouth
of the loader. Then you can manually remove the cassette.
