Setting the Date and Time
When the library is initially set up, or if it has been unplugged for more
than eight days, you need to set the date and time. If the date and time
are not set, error logs will not include date and time stamps. To set the
date and time, enter the
Administration menu. If you only want to view
the date and time, enter the Information menu.
To set the date and time:
1. Enter the Set Date and Time menu.
2. Use the [-] or [+] keys to select the year, month, and day. Use the [ -> ]
key to scroll to the next entry when complete.
3. Set the hour and minutes (00:00:00) using the [-] or [+] keys. Use the
[ -> ] key to scroll over to the next selection. The seconds are
automatically set at 00.
4. Use the [-] or [+] keys to select the time zone. UTC stands for
Coordinated Universal Time. (See Table 3-6, “World Time Zones,” on
page 3-23.) This will keep your host time and library time
synchronized.
5. Press [OK] to save your changes. Press [Quit] to exit this menu and not
save your changes.
NOTE The time does not automatically adjust for time changes such as daylight
savings time and is accurate to within one hour per year. Occassional
adjustment is normal.
