HP MSL6000 manual Running a Cleaning Cartridge from a Mail Slot

Page 95

The Mail Slot—This location has the advantage of not needing to remove a magazine to use a data cartridge slot, or to reserve a cleaning cartridge slot.

A Tape Cartridge Slot—This location requires removing a magazine to insert a cleaning cartridge in a tape cartridge slot, and then removing it after cleaning.

The Cleaning Slot—This location requires reserving the last tape cartridge slot for exclusive use as a cleaning cartridge slot. The advantage with this method is that the cleaning cartridge is stored in the library and is always available for use. It needs to be handled only when it expires and needs to be replaced. (See ”Setting Up a Reserved Slot” on page 41 for more information.)
