Creating an Inventory of Cartridges 2
This option builds a new inventory of cartridges in the
ValueLoader. If using a barcode reader, this option also scans the
barcode label on each cartridge in the carousel. (See Barcode
Reader on page 3 for more information.) To use this option, follow
these steps:
1 From the Home Screen or main menu, press the [+] or [-] button
until “Commands” appears on the top line of the LCD screen.
2 Press the [Enter] button to access the available options.
3 Press the [+] or [-] button until “Re-inventory” appears on the
LCD screen. Then, press
[Enter].
The ValueLoader then checks the drive and each slot for the
presence of a tape in order to update inventory information.
Note: If you are using Operator’s Panel commands to clean the
drive, import the cleaning cartridge only after you have
selected the Clean Drive command. If you would like to
keep a cleaning cartridge in the ValueLoader, the backup
software must manage drive cleaning.
