Head Cleaning
The tape heads should be cleaned regularly, as indicated in the following table. Tape
heads also should be cleaned if the "Clean Me" message is displayed on the LCD
and the Operator Attention Required LED is flashing amber.
Clean the heads using a cleaning cartridge as follows.
Sequential Mode
1. Place the cleaning cartridge into one of the magazine slots (for example, slot 1)
and insert the magazine into the Autoloader.
2. Use the Select button to select the slot in which you placed the cleaning
cartridge.
3. Press the Load Tape button to load the cleaning cartridge into the drive. The
Autoloader then automatically performs a cleaning cycle.
4. Press the eject button to unload the magazine and remove the cleaning
cartridge.
5. Record the date on the label of the cleaning cartridge. After 25 uses, discard the
cartridge.
Random Mode
1. Some backup software will perform the cleaning operation automatically. Using
this process, the cleaning cartridge could be in any one of the six magazine
slots. The Autoloader will recognize that the cartridge is a cleaning cartridge
once it is loaded into the drive.
2. The drive will then automatically carry out a cleaning cycle.
3. The drive automatically ejects the cartridge when the cleaning cycle is complete.
The changer returns the cartridge to its magazine slot without any additional user
involvement. Refer to your backup/restore software instructions for additional
details.
