Importing Media 9
The Import Media operation allows you to use the I/E station to import
data cartridges into the library. The library’s scanner automatically reads
the barcode on new cartridges imported into the library.
This topic focuses on using the library user interface, not the host
application, to import media. Using the library to import media may
necessitate performing an inventory of the library with the host
application. See your host application documentation for more
information.
There are two ways to import tape cartridges via the library: with manual
cartridge assignment enabled or disabled. Manual cartridge assignment
is enabled on the library by default. For information on
disabling/enabling this feature, see Disabling/Enabling Manual
Cartridge Assignment on page 77.
This section contains the following sub-sections
• Importing Media with Manual Cartridge Assignment Enabled

Note: If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or
export media. See Configuring
I/E Station Slots on page 79.
