Ejecting media from a drive

Use Eject media to eject the media currently in the standalone drive.

Some drives do not support a software-driven media eject. If the media is a tape, the tape is rewound and you may be instructed to manually remove it.

The job will be submitted as a Run now job, unless you submitted the job on hold.
