Chapter 2

Operating the Autoloader 25

Exporting the indicated cartridge will clear the error condition. See

Exporting

Cartridges

on page 31. If these symptoms occur on multiple known good

cartridges, consider cleaning the tape drive. See

Cleaning the Tape Drive

on

page 36. If a particular cartridge causes these symptoms repeatedly, that

cartridge may be defective or invalid.
Occasionally you may see the message In Transit, which indicates:

An error condition has caused a cartridge to be left between its slot and the

drive. (Power cycle or reset the autoloader to clear this condition.)

A cartridge is unexpectedly found in the mail slot opening. (Power cycle or

reset the autoloader to clear this condition. For information on resetting the

autoloader, see

Resetting the Autoloader

on page 40.)

If the tape drive has a cartridge loaded, the top line displays Drive loaded. The

cartridge currently loaded in the drive is indicated by an alternating black

block and the slot number. This display can also indicate that the specified

cartridge is being loaded, unloaded, imported, or exported. The autoloader

status line indicates the current operation. An example of this display is shown

below.
