Cartridge Accessor
The Cartridge Accessor identifies and moves cartridges
between the storage cells, tape drives, and the I/E Station. The
Cartridge Accessor has:
• A Gripper Assembly for getting and putting cartridges in
storage cells, tape drives or the I/E Station.
• A Barcode Scanner for reading the external barcode labels
on the cartridges. The Barcode Scanner is used during the
inventory process to locate and categorize all cartridges
installed in the library. It is also used during the teaching
process in which it reads the fiducial labels to identify the
types of storage arrays and tape drives installed in the
Library. (Fiducial labels are barcode labels located on tape
drives and storage arrays. Each label has a different value
to identify the various types of storage arrays or tape
drives that may be installed in the Library. Refer to the
Scalar 1000 Operator Guide for a list of all fiducial labels.)
