6.4 Avoiding Basic Problems
Follow these guidelines when you operate the DLT4500/DLT4700 mini-library to
avoid basic problems:
• Use only DLTtape III, DLTtape IIIxt or DLTtape IV cartridges.
• Check the tape leader in the cartridge by lifting the cartridge latch that opens the
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.
