"A"
Degraded operation.
The tape drive determined that a problem
occurred which degraded the operation of the tape drive, but it did
not restrict continued use. If the problem persists, determine
whether the problem is with the drive or the media.
I
The drive is usable, though the Single-character Display
continues to indicate an error and the Fault status light
flashes amber. The error code may clear when you cycle
power to the tape drive.
To determine if the problem is with the drive hardware, or the tape
media, perform the following procedure:
1. Clean the drive with the cleaning cartridge.
2. Retry the operation.
3. If the problem persists, retry the operation with a new or a
known good cartridge. If the operation succeeds, discard the
defective tape cartridge. If the problem persists also with the
new tape cartridge, the problem probably lies with the drive.
Contact your support partner.
"C"
The tape drive needs to be cleaned.
Clean the tape drive. See
"Cleaning the Drive Head" on page 31

The error code clears when you clean the tape drive.
