• Medium flashing (twice per second) indicates either the tape cartridge is wearing out and
should be replaced, or the tape heads need cleaning. See page 43.
• Slow flashing indicates one of the following conditions: the front panel door is open when
it should not be, there is a cartridge in the autoloader, but no magazine is present, or a hard
fault condition has occurred. See page 43.
