5.4.5 Loading the Cleaning Tape Into a Tabletop Tape Drive
N OTE : To use the cleaning tape in an Autoloader or Library tape drive, refer to
your owner’s manual.
Follow these steps to load an SDLT CleaningTape into an SDLT 600 tabletop tape drive:
1. Insert the cleaning tape, with the Front Slide Label Slot facing outward, into the tape drive until the
tape drive engages with the cleaning tape and begins to take up the cleaning media. The green
Drive Status LED flashes and the cleaning cycle begins automatically.
2. When the cleaning cycle completes, the cleaning tape automatically ejects from the tape drive and
the yellow alert LED turns off.
N OTE : On the last cleaning, the cleaning tape will not eject. Use the Eject button
on the front of the tape drive to eject the expired cleaning tape and dispose
of the cleaning tape.
3. Remove the cleaning tape, place it back into its plastic case, and mark the label after each cleaning.
