Operating Hints
•
Never operate the cartridge insert/release
handle if the green O
PERATE
H
ANDLE
light is not
on steadily or blinking.
•
If DLT tape drive behaves erratically with a
given tape cartridge, open inspection door at
rear of cartridge to make sure that cartridge
leader is in its correct position (see figure,
below).
•
When mounting a tape cartridge, insert the tape
cartridge into the DLT tape drive with a slow,
steady motion.
•
If the yellow Use Cleaning Tape indicator lights,
unload the data cartridge from the DLT tape
drive and then load a CleaningTape III cartridge
in its place. The cleaning cartridge automatically
cleans the read/write heads and then unloads
when cleaning is complete. Be sure to remove
the cleaning cartridge after cleaning is complete,
so as to avoid repeated operation, which would
cause unnecessary wear to the read/write
heads.
