Error Messages

   When a tape drive error occurs, the LCD cycles through the

   current error code and previous error codes.

   ERR 1: xx yy zz    The most recent error displays where xx is the fault

   symptom code, and yy and zz indicate secondary errors (if any)

   ERR 2 (or 3): xx yy zz    Previous eror messages display

If the drive fails with a flashing amber indicator light, three sets of numbers appear on the LCD showing the three most recent errors. The first two digits in error 1 are the fault symptom code for the most recent error. Using this fault symptom code, go to the table below to help resolve the problem.

The following table lists fault symptom codes that might display on the LCD. The fault symptom codes are arranged in alphanumeric order:
