The 8 mm, 20/40 Gbyte MTC drive has the following controls:

Figure 17: Controls: 8 mm 20/40 Gbyte MTC drive

(1) amber LED (error indicator)

(2) green LED (standby indicator)

(3) green LED (tape motion indicator)

(4) Release button

(5) LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Please note the following:

V Only use EXATAPE-approved 8 mm magnetic tape cartridges. Other

cartridges can cause problems. Information on approved 8 mm

cartridges is provided in the chapter “Accessories” on page 87.

V Lower capacity 8 mm magnetic tape cassettes (2.3/5 Gbyte) can be read

by this MTC drive. You should, however, keep the number of read

accesses to a minimum since these tapes cause considerably higher

abrasion than the 20-Gbyte tapes. In addition, the drive must be cleaned

after each such read procedure. If a lower capacity cassette has been

read and a 20-Gbyte cassette is to be used subsequently, then the drive

must be cleaned first. If the drive is not cleaned, then the drive will not

accept this cassette and will eject it immediately.
