Make sure you put only standard-labeled, general scratch tapes in the ACL’s hopper; do not put either non-labeled tapes or saved tapes in the hopper.
CA VM:Tape requires you to supply the external volser for non-labeled scratch tapes. If you were to put a non-labeled scratch tape in the hopper, you would have to dismount the tape after CA VM:Tape mounted it to read the volser on the tape’s external label. If you were to put a saved tape in the hopper, CA VM:Tape would mount the tape and then immediately eject it because it is not a scratch tape.
CA VM:Tape checks the status of the ACL every time it mounts a general scratch tape. If the hopper runs out of tapes, the yellow warning light on the ACL blinks and CA VM:Tape issues this message:
THE ACL ON DRIVE addr IS EMPTY OR IN MANUAL MODE.
Fill the hopper with more general scratch tapes. The yellow warning light should go out. You do not have to press the START button again.
CA VM:Tape can only detect that the ACL’s hopper is empty when mounting a general scratch tape. Do not remove the scratch tapes from the ACL hopper because CA VM:Tape will not be able to detect that the hopper is empty.
