Abstract

A positioning apparatus (201 ) for a tape library (203) is provided. The positioning apparatus (201 ) comprises a tape cartridge loader (202) movable relative to the tape library (103) along an axis (107), at least one sensor (702) on the tape cartridge loader (202) operable to detect a reference position along the axis (207), and a controller (215). The controller (215) is operable to track a distance moved by the tape cartridge loader (202) along the axis (207) until the at least one sensor (702) detects the reference position. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
