ABSTRACT:
In a library apparatus, plural recording media are received in respective, assigned slots in a tray movable between a closed position within a housing and, selectively, in a first mode to a fully opened position affording access to all of the slots and respective, assigned recording media therein and, in a second mode, to a mail slot access position affording access to a mail slot into which an individual recording medium is selectively inserted or removed. In an insertion operation of the second mode and with a recording medium present in the mail slot in the closed position of the tray, an accessor conveys the recording medium from the mail slot, designated as a source location, to a respective slot of the tray assigned to the recording medium and designated as a destination location thereof and, in an ejection operation of the mail slot mode, conveys the recording medium from the assigned slot of the tray designated as a source location to the mail slot, designated as a destination location. The controller, further, controls the accessor to convey a selected recording medium from the respective assigned slot in the tray to a driving unit for recording and reproducing operations on the specific recording medium and, thereafter, to return the specific recording medium to the assigned slot.
