The Operator’s Panel consists of four LEDs, four buttons, and a 2-line by 

16-character LCD screen. The Operator’s Panel provides everything you 

need to monitor ValueLoader status and to control all of its functions.

Figure 9  Operator’s 
Panel—Drive Empty

The display defaults to the Home screen. The Home screen consists of the 

ValueLoader status on the top line and the current cartridge inventory on 

the second line. If the tape drive does not have a cartridge loaded, the top 

line displays 

Drive empty

.

The cartridge inventory indicates all slots that contain a cartridge by 

displaying the slot number. Empty slots are indicated by a dash or 

hyphen (–).
An exclamation point (!) displayed in the inventory indicates that the 

ValueLoader has identified a cartridge in the indicated slot that is either 

an invalid cartridge type (DLTtapeIII cartridge or non-DLT1 cleaning 

cartridge) or has had a media-related error.
