ABSTRACT:
A media-detection system and method for identifying a type of data cartridge. According to one embodiment, the media-detection system comprises at least one indicator arm displaceable by at least one surface feature of the data cartridge as the data cartridge is loaded in a cartridge-receiving device. The media-detection system also comprises at least one sensor detecting the displacement of the at least one indicator arm as the data cartridge is loaded, thereby indicating the type of data cartridge in the cartridge-receiving device.
