Cleaning
cartridges
Attention:
You
must
use
proper
cleaning
cartridges
with
this
tape
drive,
as
other
cleaning
cartridges
will
not
load
and
run.
A
cleaning
cartridge
is
supplied
with
each
tape
drive
and
should
only
be
used
when
the
‘Use
Cleaning
Cartridge’
amber
LED
is
flashing
or
once
a
week,
whichever
occurs
first.
Insert
the
cleaning
cartridge
and
the
drive
carries
out
its
cleaning
cycle
and
ejects
the
cartridge
on
completion
(which
can
take
up
to
5
minutes).
Please
follow
the
cleaning
instructions
on
page
1-8
to
clean
the
drive.
