Using cartridges and magazines
Applying labels
When applying labels to a cartridge, observe the following
precautions to prevent the cartridge from getting stuck in the
autoloader:
Apply labels firmly, only in recessed label areas.
Do not let labels extend beyond label areas or fold over
the edge of a cartridge.
Do not apply labels over other labels.
Caution Do not place any labels on the autoloader
magazine, since this may cause the tape
mechanism to jam.
Loading cartridges in a magazine
Use only approved DDS cartridges in the Scorpion 240.
Approved Seagate cartridges are listed on page A-37. To load
cartridges into the magazine, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the cartridges are write protected or write
enabled, as necessary. See page A-37 for details.
2. Hold the magazine so that the slot numbers on the side of
the magazine are right-side-up.
