Tape Slot 4 or Cleaning Tape Slot XX, where XX represents flashing blocks. If a slot number
is displayed, the tape in that slot has a bar code label identifying the tape as a cleaning tape.
If a slot number is displayed, continue to Step 6. If no slot number is displayed, it indicates
that the device is not able to detect that a cleaning tape with a bar code is in the device. In
this case, the operator must select the slot where a cleaning tape resides.

7. When the correct location for the cleaning tape is displayed, press Enter to select. While
the device cleans the drive, the screen displays Cleaning Drive 1 in progress or Cleaning
Drive 2 in progress.
8. After the cleaning cycle is complete, the screen displays either Cleaning Drive 1 Complete,
or Cleaning Drive 1 Failed. If the cleaning cycle failed, press Enter to display the error
code and message explaining the failure.
The device returns the cleaning cartridge to the original slot. If you loaded the cartridge from the
front panel, you should now unload it either by using the mailslot, or by removing the magazine.
When the tape drive cleaning cycle is complete, the Clean LED turns off (if previously on).
