archival storage. For the StorageLoader each magazine has room for four
cartridges.
• A menu-driven operator control panel interface with backlit LCD provides
easy control for configuration and diagnostic activities.

most of the operations that can be done through the front panel, such as
monitoring the loader’s status and downloading statistical and diagnostic
information.
