Tape Spooled off Supply Reel
Attention: DO NOT TOUCH THE OUTER GUIDE RAIL (2 in Figure 117).
THIS RAIL IS VERY DELICATE AND EASILY DAMAGED.
Use the following procedure to remove a tape cartridge when the tape has spooled
off the supply reel:
1. From the take up reel, pull an arm’s length of tape around the rear of the tape
path and over the head and rollers on the left side of the drive.
2. Set the drive on its left side with the head and tape path facing up.
3. Make sure the tape is not twisted. Untwist tape if required.
4. Moisten a cotton swab with water and wet approximately 13 mm (0.5 in.) of
the tape end and feed it onto the supply reel (inside the cartridge).
5. Turn the supply reel (4 in Figure 117) clockwise, allowing the moistened
tape to adhere to the hub as it winds around the supply reel (inside the
cartridge).
