Transport Geometry Parameters Page (1Eh)

The Transport Geometry Parameters page describes whether a medium transport element is a member of
a set of elements that share a common robotics subsystem, and whether it is capable of handling double-
sided media. Dell libraries currently contain a single medium transport element, so all are the first element
in a set of one.

Parameters Savable (PS) – This page is not savable, and this field is set to zero.

Page Code – This field identifies the Transport Geometry Parameters mode page and returns 1Eh.

Parameter List Length – This field is set to 02h, since only a single medium transport is reported.

Rotate – This field returns 0, since double-sided media is not supported.

Member Number In Medium Transport Element Set – This field returns 0, since the library has a single
medium transport.
