+<para>This algorithm works with the Changer API (see <manref
+name="amanda-changers" vol="7" />), using the inventory returned by the
+changer to locate the oldest acceptable volume available. Note that this
+will not work with changers that do not support inventory (old
+changers). The algorithms scans
+unknown slots only if no known usable volume is found in the inventory.</para>
+
+<para>An acceptable volume is a reusable volume, a new labeled volume or an
+unlabeled volume that can be labeled according to <amkeyword>autolabel</amkeyword>.
+Note that changers do not always know the contents of every slot - for
+example, a tape with an unknown barcode will not be considered usable.</para>
+
+<para>Use <command>amtape CONF inventory</command> to see the changer's inventory, and use
+<command>amtape CONF update</command> to update it.</para>

+
+<para>This algorithm also works with the Changer API, using the inventory to
+determine the acceptable volumes; it then uses the volume which follows the
+last-used volume in lexical order. For volume labels containing leading
+zeros, e.g., <filename>CORP-010</filename>, this algorithm will run through
+the volumes in the natural order.</para>
+
+<para>It scans unknown slots only if no usable volume
+is found in the inventory.</para>
+
+<para>See <amkeyword>oldest</amkeyword>, above, for a definition of acceptable
+volumes.</para>
