Moving cartridges within the autoloader

magazine to any other location not already holding a cartridge. This option also lets you load and
unload tape cartridges to and from the tape drive. To use this command, you must first select where you
want to move the cartridge from and then indicate where you want to move the cartridge to.

to select.

• Left Magazine (slots 1-5)
• Right Magazine (slots 6-10)
• Drive
4. When the correct source is displayed, press Enter to select.
5. If the source selected is Left Magazine, use Previous or Next to select the slot (the same
will apply for the Right Magazine). Only slots with cartridges will be listed. The second line
reads Full.
6. Once the correct slot is displayed, press Enter to select.
You have now selected the cartridge you would like to move. The screen will now request the destination
for this cartridge.
