[. . . ] When the Tape in Use LED stops blinking and stays ON, the tape's actual density lights. For example, if the actual tape density is 2. 6, then the LED turns ON next to the 2. 6 label. When the Density Override LED blinks, you can select a density. The Scalar Library will close the handle and the drive will load the cartridge. When the Tape in Use LED stops blinking and stays ON, the tape's actual density lights. For example, if the actual tape density is 2. 6, then the LED turns ON next to the 2. 6 label. When the Density Override LED blinks, you can select a density. Then all right or left side LEDs blink repeatedly. You may try to unload the tape and reinitialize the drive by pressing the Unload key or turn power OFF and then ON again. The right or left side LEDs stop blinking and the drive tries to reinitialize. The LEDs turn ON steadily again and then turn OFF if the test succeeds. 3.

[. . . ] This error code appears whenever the Picker cpu does not return any response to a Master cpu command. This error appears whenever the Picker cpu does not return results from executing a command within a time-out limit. One or both of the Mailbox doors were open when a Mailbox pick and place operation was attempted. An X-Position Error will occur whenever the X position reported by the servo cpu does not match the position reported by the x-axis optical tachometer plus or minus a margin value. [. . . ]
