(Figure 6.35-1 ).

CAUTION:
Although the manufacturer designed the drive mechanism to prevent the cartridge from being
over-inserted, excessive insertion force will damage the drive mechanism components. The cartridge
should be inserted gently into the drive. Very little force is required to cause the drive to grab the
cartridge, after which, the drive will pull the cartridge into the drive. Excessive force WILL damage the
tape loading mechanism.
