Cleaning Cartridges

In host-initiated cleaning mode the host tracks all cleaning cartridges and
their use.
In automatic cleaning mode the library tracks all cleaning cartridges and
their use.
Capacity
3
Although a maximum of ten cleaning cartridges may be present in the
P4000 or P7000, four or less are recommended to optimize library
performance. If more than ten cleaning cartridges are present in the
library at inventory, the library moves the additional cartridges to the
load port for manual unloading.
Identification
3
Cleaning cartridges have unique bar code labels that begin with “CLN,”
(for example, CLN001).
