SETTING UP PRINT JOB SOURCES

2. If your LPS is connected to both a 9-track magnetic tape

drive and an 18-track cartridge tape system, you must specify
the tape drive.  You do this by entering MTU 0 or MTU 1.
The 0 and 1 are assigned to each tape drive at installation by
a service representative.  Check with your service
representative or your system administrator if you are not
sure if 0 or 1 was assigned to your 18-track CTS.

Note:  This is not necessarily the same number you see in
the message display window of each cartridge tape transport
when the cartridge tape system is powered on and goes
through its testing and downloading routines.

CAUTION:  To avoid writing on an unprotected tape by mistake,
always enter your tape drive choice before beginning a job.

Now that your tape drive is loaded and online to the LPS, you
are ready to print jobs.

Follow these steps to unload a tape:

1. When the EOT is reached or a job is completed, the

transport rewinds and unloads the cartridge.  The feed slot
door opens automatically.  When it does, carefully remove
the cartridge.

To remove a tape at any other time, first press the Ready
button to take the transport out of the read/write mode.  The
ready indicator light must be off.

2. Press the Unload button on the transport status and control

panel.

If the tape needs to be rewound before unloading, the
following message displays during that process:

REWINDING 

The following message displays for the few seconds required
to return the cartridge to the feed slot and open the door:

UNLOADING

Note:  To use the TAPE UNLOAD command from the
keyboard, the tape drive must be online to the LPS.

3. When the feed slot door opens and the cartridge is

unloaded, remove the tape cartridge carefully.
