Tape Drive Cleaning

Your tape drive read/write head should be cleaned periodically. When cleaning is
needed, the drive automatically requests the backup software to perform a
cleaning operation. However, you can also initiate cleaning from the front panel as
needed.
Use a cleaning tape to clean your tape drive. The DLTtape cleaning tape looks just
like a DLTtape IV cartridge, except that its shell is beige.
