The autoloader moves the cleaning cartridge to the tape drive and loads it. After the cleaning is complete (in less than a minute), the tape drive ejects the cleaning cartridge. If the cleaning was successful, the autoloader returns the cleaning cartridge to its cell.

6. Confirm that the cleaning completed successfully by looking at the operator panel. The cleaning message should be gone. If the cleaning was not successful, a message explaining the failure appears on the screen. You may be prompted to insert a new cleaning cartridge.

!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.

7.Press (as needed) to return to the Home screen.
