Move tapes

To move a tape to a different slot, first put it in a drive, then move it to the required slot.

Highlight the tape to be moved in the list of tapes. Highlight a drive, which must be empty, now click on the << button to move the tape into the drive.

Now highlight the new slot for the tape and click on the >> button.

Remove from or insert a tape into the library

Use the << button to move the highlighted tape on the right to the highlighted port or gate on the left, from where it can be removed physically from the library. The >> button will take a tape placed in the port, and insert it into a highlighted tape slot. If a slot which already contains a tape is highlighted, an error message will appear.
