4.8. Magazine Handling
You must remove the magazine from the unit in order to insert or remove cartridges. When inserting
cartridges, be sure that the slot you intend to use is not already reserved by the software application
for a cartridge in the drive. The best way to avoid conflicts is to unload the cartridge from the drive;
either through your software application or by using the “
Unload from drive
“ option in the main
menu.
4.8.1. Removing the Magazine from the Unit

“ option from the Main Menu.
Note
You cannot remove the magazine if the unit is password protected or locked by
