When prompted, insert a customer supplied scratch cartridge into the I/O
station.
When the scratch cartridge is loaded, the bar code reader reads the bar code
label on the cartridge and stores it for later comparison. The cartridge is then
moved to the tape drive, where the drive runs its own write/read/verify test.
When the test is done, the library tells the drive to eject the cartridge, and then
the cartridge is moved back to the I/O station. The bar code is read again and
compared with the value stored earlier.

5.

When prompted, remove the cartridge from the I/O station.
The result of the test is reported on the Operator Panel.
If an error occurs, note the error code number and see Appendix A, “Error
codes,” on page A-1.
