Unload a Cartridge Tape
Note: Refer to Chapter 5, “Cartridge Scratch Loader,” to unload CSL cartridges.
Pressing the
Unload switch causes the cartridge in the drive to rewind and eject.
Pressing
Unload once during a write operation causes the drive to try to write
the remaining data before the cartridge tape unloads. A display of UnWr xxxx
(unwritten data, where xxxx is the FSC) means that some data is not written to
the tape. Pressing
Unload a second time causes the unwritten data to be lost.
Before you press
Unload again, see “UnWr xxxx Indication” on page 7-12
