covers the following topics:
•
Use of the front panel LED

Front panel LED
The front panel of the Travan drive (see Figure 4-1) contains the cartridge opening
and one amber light-emitting diode (LED). This LED is lit any time that the tape is
NOT at the beginning of the tape. Thus, the LED indicates tape movement.
