Operating Your Autoloader Cleaning the Tape Path

Cleaning the Tape Path

If excessive magnetic dust or debris collects at one or more of the tape heads, the autoloader may

not be able to read from or write to tape, or may experience excessive errors. When the cleaning

threshold is exceeded, the autoloader will display the cleaning request in two ways:

• The LCD display will show the message “CLEANING REQUIRED.”

• The Clean LED will remain ON continuously.

Cleaning Procedure

To clean the tape heads on your DAT 72 and DDS-4 autoloader, use only a Certance-approved

cleaning cartridge. You can purchase a Certance DDS Cleaning Cartridge on the internet at: http:/

/shop.certance.com (U.S. only).

Manual Cleaning

You can clean the autoloader manually using the following procedure:

1. Place the cleaning cartridge in a magazine slot and insert the magazine into the autoloader.

2. Use the Select button to select the slot where you placed the cleaning cartridge.

3. Press the Enter button to load the cleaning cartridge into the autoloader. The autoloader starts

the cleaning cycle automatically.

4. When the cleaning cycle is complete, the cartridge will automatically eject. If the cartridge is

not automatically ejected, press the Eject button to return the cleaning cartridge to the

magazine. Press the Eject button again to unload the magazine and remove the cleaning

cartridge.

5. Record the date of the cleaning on the cleaning cartridge label.

NOTE: A slowly flashing Clean LED may indicate that a tape is damaged or is nearing the end

of its life. If cleaning the tape path does not correct the flashing LED condition, replace the

cartridge.
