Follow these guidelines when you operate the DLT2500/DLT2700 subsystem to avoid
basic problems:

door to expose the leader. Be sure the leader is in the same position as the one
shown in Figure 6-1.
__________________________Caution___________________________
Do not touch the exposed magnetic tape. If the tape leader is not in the
correct position, use a new cartridge.

• Be sure the receiver is fully closed and the current slot indicator is on for the
starting cartridge.
• Be sure no slots in the magazine are empty between the starting cartridge and the
expected completion cartridge.
