Cleaning the Drive
When the left (green) indicator light is flashing slowly the tape drive requires cleaning. Clean the drive as
soon as possible after the indicator light turns on. Clean the tape drive more often if you are using a lot of
new tapes or if you are operating in an environment which contains a lot of dust or other particulate matter
that could contaminate the magnetic tape.
To clean the tape drive, insert a cleaning cartridge (IBM 59H3090). When the cleaning is finished, the
tape drive turns off the green indicator light and ejects the cleaning cartridge.
