Solution

Resolution
Tape drive hardware problem. The tape drive determined that a problem occurred which degraded the operation of the tape drive, but it did not restrict continued use. If the problem persists, replace the tape drive. The drive is usable, though the single-character display continues to indicate an error and the status light flashes amber.

The error code may clear when you cycle power to the tape drive or place it in maintenance mode.
