Controls and Indicators

500300 Rev. U

Display line two continues to indicate the read and detected densities when the
drive is placed online. When the tape moves forward from BOT, display line two
becomes a message line and its density indicators will be erased.

2.3.2.2

Messages

The message line is used to display general information, instructions, error
conditions, and other data depending upon the current situation.
