Important

If there are no more cleaning cycles remaining on the cleaning

cartridge, the tape drive ejects the cartridge immediately without

performing the cleaning. Remove the cleaning cartridge from the

autoloader and use a new one. Do not rewind and reuse the

material in a cleaning cartridge. Reusing the material may

redistribute contaminants previously removed from the tape

path.
