5.23 TEST UNIT READY COMMAND (00H)
The TEST UNIT READY command checks the tape drive to ensure that the unit
is ready for commands involving tape movement. If the drive has a tape loaded,
the command returns a GOOD status. Otherwise, CHECK CONDITION is
reported.
Due to power cycle, code update, and tape loaded conditions, it is possible to get
multiple check conditions on a TEST UNIT READY command.

Medium Changer Considerations
When directed at the Media Changer (Media Loader) LUN, this command
returns CHECK CONDITION, Sense Key, or NOT READY if the MODE
SELECT key is in the SERVICE mode and there is no 24 V signal (lack of 24 V
signal usually indicates the loader assembly has been moved out of its sleeve far
enough to trip the 24 V interlock). The media changer or loader is referenced as
“4500” or “4700”.
