A lot of autochangers have a slot that you can access from the front
pannel that you can load tapes without needing to pull the whole
magazine out.

That means the drive. Here is an example of my 2 drive 24 slot changer:

dev6 ~ # mtx -f /dev/autochanger1 status
  Storage Changer /dev/autochanger1:2 Drives, 24 Slots ( 1 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 23 Loaded):VolumeTag = A00135
Data Transfer Element 1:Empty
      Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=A00023
      Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=A00028
      Storage Element 3:Full :VolumeTag=A00132
      Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=A00072
      Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A00131
      Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=A00121
      Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=A00122
      Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=A00123
      Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=A00124
      Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=A00026
      Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=A00125
      Storage Element 12:Full :VolumeTag=A00012
      Storage Element 13:Full :VolumeTag=A00030
      Storage Element 14:Full :VolumeTag=A00039
      Storage Element 15:Full :VolumeTag=A00053
      Storage Element 16:Full :VolumeTag=A00133
      Storage Element 17:Full :VolumeTag=A00126
      Storage Element 18:Full :VolumeTag=A00127
      Storage Element 19:Full :VolumeTag=A00128
      Storage Element 20:Full :VolumeTag=A00129
      Storage Element 21:Full :VolumeTag=A00130
      Storage Element 22:Full :VolumeTag=A00134
      Storage Element 23:Empty:VolumeTag=
      Storage Element 24 IMPORT/EXPORT:Full :VolumeTag=A00050
