Chapter 5. Operating the Library
63
To begin the queued unload:
1. Touch the Queued Unload button in the center of the main screen. The Move
Tapes screen appears. Only the locations of tapes tagged for a queued unload
are shown as occupied. All other slots are shown as empty.
• The locations reserved for a queued unload are grayed out in the normal
Move Tapes screen. Tapes reserved for a queued unload cannot be moved
with the standard move tapes procedures.
• If you attempt to move a tape reserved for a queued unload while in the
standard Move Tapes screen, the library returns the message Slot is Reserved.
Touch OK to clear this message.
2. Touch the number of the tape slot where the unloading is to begin. The library
sequentially unloads tapes from this slot up to the highest-numbered tape
reserved for the queued unload.
3. Press the door button on the front of the library to begin unloading tapes. The
library retrieves the tape from the selected location and moves it to the door.
4. Remove the tape from the door slot.
5. Press the outside door button again to remove the next tape in the queue.
Note: You may exchange the recently unloaded tape with a new one.
When a tape appears at the library door, remove that tape and
insert a new tape in the library door slot and press the outside
door button. The library moves this tape to the slot just emptied.
Press the outside door button again to remove the next tape in the
queued unload.
6. Continue unloading (and if desired, reloading) tapes until all queued tapes have
been unloaded or exchanged.
7. The library returns the message: Move Slot Empty. Touch OK to clear this
message.
8. When all queued unload tapes are removed from the library, the standard Move
Tapes screen is displayed.
If you are not sure if the queued unload request is cleared, touch Main to return
to the main screen. If all queued tapes are removed, the Queued Unload button is
gone.
9. To exit a queued unload, press Main or wait 60 seconds for the library to time
out.
If the bar code scanner is installed and enabled, the library resynchronizes itself
by reading the bar code labels on all unknown tapes.
