Guidelines for Using CAPs

Follow best practices when using CAPs to maximize library performance.

  • Insert cartridges with the correct orientation (hub gear facing down and label facing you). You can skip slots in the CAP magazine when loading cartridges.
  • Verify all cartridges are properly labeled before placing them into a CAP. Do not enter unlabeled cartridges
  • To enter cartridges more efficiently, load the CAP magazines before issuing the enter command.
  • If only one CAP is required to do the job, do not use multiple CAPs. Opening multiple CAPs will increase the audit time.
