includes this volser. This method is typically used for Cartridge System Tape
without the seventh character.
If none of the above methods are successful at assigning a media type, the
cartridge is ejected, and an operator intervention is set.
The vision system also identifies the cartridge volser during an inventory or insert
operation by reading the external labels on the cartridge. The media-type and volser
information is then stored in the database in the library manager.
Tape Cartridge Requirements
Figure 16 on page 20 shows the cartridge system tape requirements:
v The tape cartridge 1 should have an external label 2 applied.
v The file-protect selector 3 must be set to the correct position for the volume’s
intended purpose (see “Cartridge File Protection” on page 20).
v The leader block 4 on the tape cartridge must be seated before inserting the
cartridge into the library.
v The tape cartridge is inserted into the library cartridge storage cells in the
direction 5 shown so that the external label is readable when stored.
Note: When inserting the tape cartridges into the Convenience Input⁄Output
Station feature, insert the external label side first in the direction 6.
