I recently acquired a TZ30 tape drive. It does not

I have used plenty of TK50s and TK70s but, AFAIK, this part is unchanged:
is there a "barb" that is swept across the front of the open tape cartridge
when
you attempt to load? One very common load fault is that barb breaks off the
end of the leader and there's nothing to hook on the loop at the end of the
tape and pull the tape into the path.
