Wait for the current operation to finish, then insert a different
tape and repeat the operation that was being performed.
If the media caution signal does not show this time, it indic-
ates that the original cartridge was nearing the end of its
useful life. Copy any data you want to keep from the original
tape onto a new tape if possible, then discard the old tape.
If the media caution signal appears again with the second
tape, the tape heads need cleaning.
If the media caution signal appears after using a cleaning
cartridge, the cleaning cartridge has probably expired and
should be discarded.
