Cleaning the tape drive
To clean the tape drive, you need the following supplies:
•
Low pressure aerosol air.
•
Tape head cleaning fluid or reagent grade chemically-pure isopropyl
alcohol.
•
Tape head cleaning pads, lint-free cotton swabs, or any
industry-acceptable head-cleaning swabs, six inches or longer.
You should clean the head assembly after an initial pass with a new tape
cartridge and after eight hours of normal use. You should clean the sensor
hole and tape cartridge cavity whenever dust is visible.

If the power to the tape drive is on, turn it off.
3
Push the head loading lever to the load position.
4
Carefully blow out dust from the sensor hole and tape cartridge cavity
with aerosol air.
5
Moisten a pad or swab with the head-cleaning fluid until it is saturated
but not dripping.

Carefully wipe the head in the direction that the tape travels. (Refer to
Table 35, “Tape drive cleaning kits,” on page 298

perpendicularly or use a circular scrubbing motion.
