Before you use the ValueLoader LTO, make sure you observe these
general rules:
• Use only LTO cartridges. You can order tape cartridges at our
Web site. Make sure all cartridges that you want to use for
writing have either never been written to or have been written
to only with the LTO tape drive in the ValueLoader or
equivalent tape drive. The tape drive rejects all other formats.
• Clean the tape drive when the Clean Drive LED is illuminated,
or if there is any other indication that the drive is having
trouble reading or writing, such as if the Media Attention LED
is illuminated, or there is an exclamation point (!) in the
inventory display. Be sure to use only compatible cleaning
cartridges. The tape drive rejects all other types of cleaning
cartridges.
