3 Select one or more cleaning cartridges to import. An error displays if
the number of selected cleaning cartridges is more than the number
of empty cleaning slots.
Note: If not all cartridges appear on the screen, use the Page 1 of
x arrows to view the additional cartridges.
Note: Bold column headings in the table can be sorted. For
example, selecting the Location column heading will sort
by location coordinates.
When AutoClean is enabled (at least one cleaning slot has been
configured), you can export one or more cleaning cartridges from
dedicated cleaning slots to the I/E station for removal from the library.
You may need to export expired cleaning cartridges or free up cleaning
slots for data storage.
After exporting cleaning cartridges, you can reduce the number of
configured cleaning slots. The extra slots become available for use as
storage slots. For information on configuring cleaning slots, see
Configuring Cleaning Slots
see About AutoClean
Note: If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or
export cleaning media. See
page 62.
Caution: Some host applications may fail import/export operations
when the I/E station contains cartridges that are assigned
to another partition. Move cartridges from the I/E station
as soon as possible to avoid possible conflicts with the
other partitions.
The number of cleaning cartridges you can export is limited to the
number of empty I/E station slots.
You can export cleaning cartridges from either the operator panel or the
Web client.
