10.3.3 TRANSPORT GEOMETRY DESCRIPTOR PAGE
(P
AGE CODE 1Eh)
PS (Page Savable) – Byte 00, Bit 7
The value returned for this field is 0, which indicates that the autoloader
cannot save this page to nonvolatile memory.
Page Code – Byte 00, Bits 5 through 0
This field identifies the Transport Geometry Descriptor page. The value
returned for this field is 1Eh.
Parameter Length – Byte 01
This field indicates the number of additional bytes of transport geometry
descriptor data that follow the header. Each descriptor consists of two bytes of
information. The autoloader has only one transport mechanism (cartridge
loader), so the value returned for this field is 02h.
Rotate – Byte 02, Bit 0
This field indicates the ability of the transport mechanism to handle two-sided
media. The autoloader uses only one-sided media, so the value returned for
this field is 0.
Member Number in Transport Element Set – Byte 03
This field indicates the specific transport element in the system to which this
descriptor is applied. The autoloader has only one transport element, so the
value returned for this field is 0.
