the appropriate autoloader module for your software package. See your
software installation manual for additional information.
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 10. To load cartridges into the magazine, follow these
steps:
1. Make sure that the cartridges and magazine are write protected or write
enabled, as necessary. See page 33 for details.
2. Hold the magazine so that the slot numbers on the side of the magazine are
right-side-up.
3. Insert the cartridge into the magazine with the door facing toward the magazine
slot, as shown in Figure 12.
