Re: TS3100 3573 L2U in Sequential mode prompts for tape change

["davidson_l" <DAVIDSON_L@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   ? Sequential: In sequential mode, the library?s
firmware predefines the selection of the cartridges. After
initialization, the    firmware causes the library to select
the first available cartridge found    (counting from the
I/O Station through the last slot in your library) for
loading into the drive.
   - Autoload: Sequential mode with autoload mode ON
loads the first available cartridge (slot with the lowest
numerical value that    contains a cartridge) automatically
if the library powers ON with an empty    drive.
   - Loop: Sequential mode with loop mode ON loads    the
cartridge in the lowest numerical slot after the cartridge
in the highest    numerical slot has been filled and sent
back to its home slot. This allows    endless backup
operations without user interaction.
