Getting Started

Cleaning Cassette

The tape heads should be cleaned after every 8 to 10 hours of tape motion or when the
Media Caution indication is displayed. A cleaning cassette (ADIC 39-1028-01) is
shipped with your 

DGLF

VLS. Discard it after approximately 20 uses and replace it

with the same or equivalent type cleaning cassette. See 

Cleaning the Drive Head

 later

in this manual.

Figure 3. 4mm Cleaning Cassette

System Software

A variety of backup and data storage software is available for use with the VLS.
Please check with 

DGLF

Sales or Customer Assistance if you have a question on the

compatibility of a particular software package.
