Unloading the 4-mm Tape Cartridge
Before performing the unload operation, make sure the power to the 4-mm tape drive
is on.
To unload and eject the tape cartridge, press the unload button. The 4-mm tape
drive rewinds the tape and then ejects the tape cartridge from the tape drive.
After pressing the unload button, the following occurs:
1. The Read-Write status light flashes during the unload operation.
2. The Ready status light and the Read-Write status light turns off when the
cartridge is ejected from the tape drive.
The time required for a tape to rewind and unload is between 10 seconds and 1.5
minutes, depending on the position of the tape when the unload button is pushed.
If the tape cartridge cannot unload and has to be removed manually from the drive,
contact your service representative.
