Removing a Tape Cartridge
To remove a tape cartridge:
1 Ensure that the drive is powered-on.
2 Press the Unload button. The drive rewinds the tape and partially
ejects the cartridge. The Ready light flashes while the tape rewinds,
then goes out before the cartridge partially ejects.
3 After the cartridge partially ejects, grasp the cartridge and remove
it.
