Claim:
1. A computer program product for positioning an actuator, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processing circuit to cause the processing circuit to perform a method comprising: generating or receiving, by the processing circuit, a first value representative of a lateral position of a tape; using, by the processing circuit, the first value to adjust a position of a coarse actuator for moving a magnetic head in response to determining that the first value is in a first range relative to a first threshold; and using, by the processing circuit, an integrator value to adjust the position of the coarse actuator in response to determining that the first value is in a second range relative to the first threshold.
