Cleaning the 18/36-track cartridge tape drive
A cleaning cartridge is shipped with each 18/36-track cartridge
tape drive. This cartridge should be replaced after 500 uses.
When the tape drive needs to be cleaned, CLEAN appears in the
message display after a cartridge is unloaded and during a rewind
or locate operation.
NOTE: CLEAN is a status message, not an error message.
CAUTION: Never power off the tape drive without following the
cleaning procedure once the CLEAN message appears.
CAUTION: The cleaning cartridge must be undamaged and
clean.
To clean the 18/36-track cartridge tape drive read/write heads:
1. Remove any cartridge loaded in the tape drive.
2. Insert the cleaning cartridge.
The cleaning cycle takes approximately 15 seconds.
3. Remove the cleaning cartridge when it is unloaded.
4. Mark the usage on the tape label. Do not use a grease pencil.
You must clean the 18/36-track cartridge tape drive regularly to
keep it functioning properly.
