Using the 8mm Cleaning Cartridge
CAUTION
To prevent contamination of the tape drive and damage to the
heads, do not use the cleaning cartridge for more than the
number of cleaning cycles specified on the cartridge label.
Discard the cleaning cartridge after you have used it for the
specified number of cleaning cycles. Do not attempt to rewind
the material in the cleaning cartridge and re-use it.
To use the 8mm cleaning cartridge, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the tape drive is powered on. Remove any tape cartridge from the drive.
2. Check the usage record on the label of the cleaning cartridge to make sure there is at
least one cleaning cycle remaining (see Figure 4–1). If there are no cleaning cycles
remaining, discard the cleaning cartridge and use a new one.
3. Insert the cleaning cartridge in the tape drive. The remainder of the cleaning cycle is
performed automatically by the tape drive. When the cleaning cycle is complete, the
cartridge is unloaded and ejected from the tape drive. The cleaning cycle may range
from 2 to 3 minutes.
4. To confirm that a cleaning was done, look at the LEDs on the front panel. If the
cleaning cycle was successful, the top and bottom LEDs will be off. If the cleaning
cycle was not performed, the LEDs will continue to flash.
5. If the cleaning cycle was successful, record the date the cleaning was performed on
the cleaning cartridge label, as shown in Figure 4–1. Store the cleaning cartridge for
future use if it still has cycles remaining.
NOTE
If there are no more cleaning cycles remaining for the
cleaning cartridge, it will be ejected when you load it.
