[. . . ] Do not use these procedures to insert or remove cleaning cartridges into the library. Refer to Working with Cleaning Cartridges on page 64. CAUTION 62 Running your Library Importing Tape Cartridges Use Import to add tape cartridges to your library through the mailbox. Import moves all tape cartridges currently in the mailbox to the first available slots in the library. Using Import to insert tape cartridges does not disrupt library operations. For more information, refer to Locking/Unlocking the Mailbox on page 73. In addition, before beginning, ensure the tape cartridges have barcode labels and are not write-protected. If the library is partitioned (through the host software), this command could move a tape cartridge into an incorrect partition. After importing, notice where the tape cartridge is placed, and if necessary, move the tape cartridge to a new location using Move Media. CAUTION CAUTION If the cartridge you are importing does not have a barcode label, you must turn on Touch-on-Init. Refer to Configuring Additional Library Options on page 69.

If your library is partitioned (through the host software), be aware of where you are placing tape cartridges. CAUTION 1 2 3 Place the library in an Offline state.
