Unless the situation requires it, uses the host
application to move, load, unload, import, or
export cartridges instead of doing so through the
LMC. Using the host to move media makes sure
that the host’s view of the library remains in sync
with the library’s actual configuration.

Importing Cartridges Into
Partitions 7
When you first start using your library, open the door and manually
insert, directly into storage slots, as many cartridges as you plan to use.
The cartridges will not go back all the way if they are inserted incorrectly.
After your library begins operation, use the Import Me
dia dialog box to
add cartridges without interrupting library operations. Place cartridges in
the I/E station. The scanner automatically reads the barcodes on new
cartridges.
