Maintenance
Head Cleaning
Cleaning intervals
After every 50 operating hours for reading/writing,
head cleaning is required. This period is equivalent to
that for reading/writing 4.2 terabytes of data without
compression.
When the warning code "- - - - - - -*1" appears in the
display window, clean the head.
Cleaning method
Insert the GW-90CL or GW-90LCL Cleaning
Cassette, and the tape will automatically clean the
head. Usually head cleaning completes within about 5
seconds.
When cleaning is finished, the cassette is automatically
ejected.
Notes
• The authorized cleaning cassette GW-90CL or GW-
90LCL should be used for head cleaning. If another
cleaning cassette is used, performance cannot be
guaranteed.
• Do not rewind and reuse a cleaning cassette.
