Hi jerloakl

I'm afraid there is no guide on how to manually remove the tape from the TL2000 tape drive.

Are you getting any error codes that is indicating a stucked tape? Please share with us the error codes.
Have you done any troubleshooting with the particular error codes?

Please refer to the TL2000 manual on page 237 - 242 on the description of the error codes:-
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/powervault-tl2000_User%27s%20Guide_en-us.pdf

If you confirmed the tape is stucked inside the tape drive and have follow through the troubleshooting steps and still fails, please call Dell technical support

Hope this helps.
