Description / tasks (*)
The data cartridge is a consumable part. Worn data
cartridge will cause troubles such as tape surface
damage, dirty heads, many media errors, etc. To avoid
miss-backup due to worn data cartridge, replacement is
required product at the earlier timing of either after one
year of use or after being used 1000 times.
* In this case, replace the cartridge with a new one.
When the data cartridge life is over, it detects head dirt
during backup and the Clean LED tends to blink. Also,
ejecting the data cartridge may take a long time, or the
data cartridge may be unloadable.
* In these cases, replace the data cartridge with a new
one regardless of the number of times/period that it
was used, and see how it works. It is recommended to
check the number of times used/period of use of other
data cartridges and replace them all since the
cartridges close to the end of the replacement cycle
maybe seriously damaged.
The data recording surface of the data cartridge is
exposed in this product and rubs against the head due to
tension. If this situation continues for a long time,
suspended particles of dust and tension on the data
cartridge may cause a reduction of the data cartridge
life, errors during backup, or device failure etc.
* Insert the data cartridge before use, and eject right
after use and store in its case.
