Chapter 3 Autoloader Administration 43
Circular Mode
Note Circular mode is only applicable when the autoloader is in
Sequential mode.
This option turns Circular mode on or off. When Circular mode is on, the
autoloader automatically reloads the first cartridge in the sequence into the
tape drive after unloading the last cartridge in the sequence. If Circular mode
is turned off and the last cartridge has been unloaded, the autoloader stops
loading cartridges until you manually load another cartridge.
Caution Use Caution when choosing Circular mode as it makes it
possible to overwrite data on previously written cartridges.

1. From the Home Screen or main menu, press the [+] or [-] button until
Configuration appears on the top line of the LCD screen.
2. Press the [Enter] button to select.
3. Press the [+] or [-] button until Circular Mode appears on the LCD screen.
The second line on the LCD screen indicates the current status, either On or
Off.
4. Press the [Enter] button. The LCD screen indicates whether you are about
to turn Circular mode on or off.
5. Press the [Enter] button to accept the change to Circular mode or [Cancel]
