-IMPORTANT-
-ATTENTION-
If you see a blinking STATUS Indicator #2 and the tape does'nt go to a ready status, then
maybe you have mounted a tape cartridge with a broken/defective TAPE LEADER.
Such a defective cartridge must be manually removed from the drive, and the Tape Drive-guide
must be placed/reseated to the home position, inside the tape drive (by a trained technician).
However, the easy way - before mounting a cleaning/data cartridge - visually check the TAPE LEADER !
