into its operating position, opens the data cartridge door, unlocks the

data cartridge brakes, engages the data cartridge drive motor, and

secures the tape for operation. On tape ejection, the data cartridge

receiver assembly reverses the process and automatically ejects the tape a

fixed distance from the front of the tape drive.

Positive Engagement Tape Leader Buckling Mechanism

The buckling mechanism is responsible for engaging the tape leader upon
