• Insert a single (brandnew) scratch Tape in Column 2 any slot you like.
• Check to see if the mailbox has been set to storage instead of Import/Export .
If so set it to import/export - to do this select
More -> Setup -> Utils -> Config and change the Mailbox to Import/Export
• Ensure that the door is safely locked
• Connect to the Library via the serial straight through cable (delivered with the Library) to the Notebook
• Open a HyperTerminal session (using the Settings below) and activate the CAPTURE in HYPERTERMINAL for later troubleshooting.
• Baud: 38,400
• Data bits: 8

It might be that there are some messages during you type. Don’t mind them and type the command.
