Exporting Cleaning Media

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
AutoClean, see
