Cleaning Read/Write Head

After approximately every twenty-five hours of operation, clean the
read/write head with a foam swab (do not use a cotton swab)
moistened in pharmaceutical grade isopropyl alcohol (make sure that
the alcohol has no additives such as lanolin). Push open the tape
access door, locate the head, and wipe the head up and down (not
sideways) as illustrated below using very light pressure.
