Operating the autoloader24
If the tape drive has a cartridge loaded, the top line displays: Drive ready or Drive loaded.
The cartridge currently loaded in the drive is indicated by an alternating black block and the slot
number. This display can also indicate that the specified cartridge is being loaded, unloaded,
imported, or exported. The autoloader status line indicates the current operation. An example of this
display is shown in Figure 10.
