The Export command lets you remove a cartridge from a specific cartridge slot through the cartridge access port. When you use the Export command, the cartridge carousel moves the specified cartridge slot into position in front of the cartridge access port and slides the door open. The cartridge loader then pushes the cartridge far enough out through the door to allow you to remove it. Loading and Unloading a Cartridge 3 The Load Cartridge command in the Commands menu lets you load the cartridge in the specified slot into the tape drive. When you use the Load Cartridge command, the cartridge carousel moves the specified cartridge slot into position in front of the tape drive. The cartridge loader then extracts the cartridge from the cartridge slot and inserts it into the tape drive. The Unload Cartridge command causes the tape drive to unload the tape from the tape path and eject the cartridge. After the cartridge is ejected, the cartridge carousel moves the slot from which the cartridge originated into position in front of the tape drive. The cartridge loader then extracts the cartridge from the tape drive and returns it to the cartridge slot.
