Operating Your Autoloader Preparation for Shipping
35
Each time the cleaning cartridge is loaded, a new, unused portion of cleaning tape is advanced
over the entire tape path. The drive does not rewind a cleaning cartridge. After about 30 cleaning
cycles, the entire tape is used up, and you must purchase a new cleaning cartridge.
If you insert a cleaning cartridge that has been used up, the cleaning cycle will not be carried out.
Instead, the Clean LED will flash rapidly and the LCD will display the message, “REPLACE
CLEANING TAPE.” The cleaning cartridge will not be returned to the magazine, the Clean LED will
stay on, and the LCD will display the message, “CLEANING REQUIRED.” In this case, press the Eject
button to remove the magazine and replace the spent cleaning cartridge with a new one.
Automated Cleaning
If your backup-and-restore software includes a tape drive head-cleaning feature, you can use the
software to clean the autoloader. Some software packages are preprogrammed to use the cartridge
in slot 6 to clean the tape path automatically. The software prompts the autoloader to load the
cleaning cartridge and initiate the cleaning cycle. When the cleaning cycle completes, the tape
drive ejects the cleaning cartridge and automatically returns it to the original magazine slot. Refer to
your software documentation for details.
If, during automated cleaning, a cleaning cartridge is loaded that has been used up, the cleaning
cycle will be aborted. Instead, the LCD will display the message “REPLACE CLEANING TAPE”, and
the cleaning cartridge will be returned to the magazine. The Clean LED will stay lit, and the LCD will
display the messages “REPLACE CLEANING TAPE” and “CLEANING REQUIRED”. After the software
operations are complete, you may use the Eject button to remove the spent cleaning cartridge and
insert a new one.
Preparation for Shipping
Before shipping the autoloader, you must secure the autoloader door to prevent damage to the
