(if previously on) and the ValueLoader unloads and exports the
cleaning cartridge. Remove the cleaning cartridge, and press
[Enter]
when the LCD screen prompts you to do so.

This option builds a new inventory of cartridges in the ValueLoader. If
using a bar code reader, this option also scans the bar code labels on each
cartridge in the carousel (see Bar Code Reader on page 3). To use this
option, follow these steps:
1 From the Home screen or main menu, press the
[+]
or
[–]
button until
Commands
appears on the top line of the LCD screen.
2 Press
[Enter]
to access the available options.
3 Press the
[+]
or
[–]
button until
Re-inventory
appears on the LCD
screen. Press
[Enter]
.
The ValueLoader will then check the drive and each slot for the
presence of a tape in order to update inventory information.
Note: If the cartridge is not a valid cleaning cartridge, the LCD
screen will display
Bad clean tape
and the cartridge will be
exported.
Note: If the Clean Drive or Media Attention LED is illuminated
again when you insert another cartridge immediately after
cleaning, see table 4 on page 46 to troubleshoot.
