Setting the Autoclean Option
The Autoclean option allows the library to automatically perform the cleaning process without interrupting normal library operation. With Autoclean enabled, the library monitors the cleaning requirements of the tape drive. When the drive indicates a “Needs Cleaning” status, the robot automatically removes the cleaning cartridge from the cleaning cartridge slot and inserts it into the tape drive. After completing the cleaning cycle, the library decreases the Clean Cycles Left counter by one.
NOTE
If you enable Autoclean, make sure the cleaning option in your software is turned off.
To set the Autoclean option:
1.If the security option is enabled, disable it.

3.Press the down arrow key until “Autoclean Option” displays. This screen shows whether Autoclean is enabled (1) or not (0).
