Use the Clean Drive option from the library’s operator panel. Use the
Clean Drive option (described in this section) and a cleaning cartridge stored
in the library to clean the drive(s) when the library or software notifies you
to do so.
Use the library’s entry/exit port to insert a cleaning cartridge. Use the
entry/exit port and the Move Cartridge command to insert a cleaning
cartridge in a tape drive when necessary (see page 57 ). The tape drive
automatically performs the cleaning process and unloads the cartridge
when the process is complete. Use the Move Cartridge command and the
entry/ exit port to remove the cleaning cartridge from the library.
Use your software’s cleaning option. Set the cleaning option in your
software application (if available) so that the software monitors drive
cleaning requirements and automatically performs cleanings using a
cleaning cartridge stored in the library. Refer to your software
documentation for information about setting up this option.
