NVENTORY
The Inventory section provides information from the autoloader’s cartridge 
inventory. The autoloader maintains a cartridge inventory to keep track of

time the autoloader is powered on, each time a cartridge is inserted or 
removed from the autoloader, and each time a cartridge is loaded or unloaded 
from the tape drive. In performing an inventory, the autoloader checks for 
cartridges in the cells and scans each cartridge’s bar code label.
