Try inserting an empty magazine, and then press and hold the eject button to see if you can get the tape back into the magazine.

Thanks for reply
The empty magazine does not suck in in automaticly, I have open the case, force the magzine all the way in until it lock .
When I press and hold the eject button. the tape drive just spit out the magazine no tape inside the slot :(
Display show
"emply magazine eject"


"ResetReq" ?????
I would like to know about the reset method
of this TSL9000 tape drive.
