Jammed Cartridge
A jammed cartridge in a CSL is not a common malfunction. A jammed cartridge
unloads from the drive and remains on the feed roller (
Figure 5-21 ). It does not
eject fully into the feed channel.
You must know how to remove jammed cartridges when the malfunction
occurs. Follow the procedures in this section to remove a jammed cartridge.
See Figure 5-21 for the CSL manual unload device (MUD) screw location. The
MUD screw is located to the right of the feed channel.
Notes:
• Only use the MUD mechanism to remove jammed cartridges
(cartridges still in the 9840 Tape Drive) or to reset the drive for
shipping (cartridges not on the feed roller).
• The MUD screw must be turned clockwise (CW) to remove jammed
cartridges.
• The MUD screw must be turned counterclockwise (CCW) to reset
the drive to its shipping position and to install and lock the shipping
insert into the drive.
