Ejecting Cartridges

To eject cartridges from the library you must issue the eject command.

The following steps describe the eject process:

1. Once you start the eject, the CAP is locked. It cannot be used by another host.
2. The robot places the specified cartridge(s) in the designated CAP, then ACSLS makes the cell locations where the cartridges were stored available for other cartridges.
3. Open the CAP, remove all cartridges from the CAP, and close the CAP. ACSLS then inspects the CAP to ensure it is empty. The CAP is now available for another operation, such as enter or audit.

   If you specify more than a CAP full of cartridges on the eject command, empty the CAP when it fills, close the CAP, and ACSLS will continue the eject process until all cartridges are ejected.

For additional information on the eject command, see eject. Also refer to ejecting.sh.

If volume statistics gathering is enabled, the acsss_stats.log records all cartridge ejections. See Setting General Product Behavior Variables.
