3. Continue spooling into the cartridge until the tape is taut and remains within the flanges of the tape guiding rollers. Ensure that you do not stretch the tape.
Continue spooling until all tape is removed from the takeup reel (3 in Figure 1).
4. Locate the threader intermediate gear (1 in Figure 2) near the rear of the drive. You can use your finger to rotate the threader intermediate gear (1 in Figure 2) and
slowly rotate the threader mechanism gear (2 in Figure 2) clockwise. This procedure draws the tape leader block assembly (LBA) into the cartridge.
