Using Ultrium Cleaning Cartridges
Only use appropriately formatted data cartridges and HP Ultrium cleaning cartridges. In general, replace cleaning cartridges after fifteen uses. Marking the label on the cleaning cartridge after each use will help you keep track of the number of uses.
Caution Excessive use of the cleaning cartridge can cause unnecessary wear on the drive head. The tape library operator panel will display a message when the cleaning cartridge needs to be replaced.
See Ultrium Cleaning Issues on page 159 for information on troubleshooting common cleaning problems.
