Indicators or flags in the tape drive are set. The application program can

The following activities occur:
• The CHM picks the cleaning cartridge from the fixed cartridge slot and
inserts it into the specified tape drive.
• The tape drive automatically performs the cleaning process. The cleaning
cartridge is ejected after 3 to 4 minutes when the cleaning process if
complete.
• After ejecting the cleaning cartridge, the CHM automatically picks the
cartridge from the tape drive and replaces it in the fixed cartridge slot.
Note – Replace the cleaning cartridge if the tape drive ejects the cleaning
cartridge within a minute.
5. Confirm that cleaning was completed. Look at the LEDs at the left front of
the tape drive. The top and bottom LEDs should be off.

and clean the tape drive again.
If the LEDs are still flashing after the second cleaning, there is a problem
with the tape drive.
