Abstract:
A determination is made whether read/write is enabled within the tape drive storage unit. In response to determining that read/write is enabled, a determination is made whether an absolute value of a channel offset exceeds a threshold value. In response to determining that the absolute value of the channel offset exceeds a threshold value, a direction of travel of the tape media is determined. In response to determining that the direction of travel of the tape media is a forward direction, a determination is made whether the channel offset is positive. In response to determining that the channel offset is positive, a left cooling device within the tape drive storage unit is powered on. The left cooling device lowers the temperature of a left guide roller and the tape media coming off a left tape storage reel prior to the media passing by a read/write head.

Claim (Index 11):
A computer system comprising:\n a controller comprising one or more processors; a first tape storage reel connected to the controller a second tape storage reel connected to the controller; a read/write head, located between the first tape storage reel and the second tape storage reel; a tape attached to the first tape storage reel on an end of the tape and the tape attached to the second tape storage reel on an opposing end of the tape; a tape transport mechanism configured to move the tape along a tape path between the first tape storage reel and the second tape storage reel; a first cooling device attached to and placed in intimate contact with a first portion of the tape transport mechanism; and a computer-readable storage media coupled to the controller, wherein the computer readable storage media contains program instructions executing a computer-implemented method comprising the steps of:\n determining whether read/write is enabled; \n determining whether an absolute value of a channel offset exceeds a threshold value; \n determining a direction of travel of the tape; \n determining that the direction of travel of the tape is a forward direction and whether the channel offset is positive; \n responsive to determining that the channel offset is positive, powering on the first cooling device and lowering a temperature of the tape transport mechanism and tape coming off the first tape storage reel prior to the tape passing by the read/write head.
