POSITION TO ELEMENT
(2Bh)
12.1 ABOUT THIS COMMAND
The POSITION TO ELEMENT command allows you to request that the
cartridge loader be positioned to a specific element location (address).
The cartridge loader is positioned so that no additional movement is required
to access the cartridge at that location for a MOVE MEDIUM (A5h) command.
Use this command with an application that may require a pause before issuing
a MOVE MEDIUM command. The time that you save with the POSITION TO
ELEMENT command is valuable if you would normally have to wait for the
cartridge loader to move to the element when you issue the MOVE MEDIUM
command.
