Do not use swabs or other means of cleaning the heads. The cleaning
cartridge uses a special tape to clean the tape heads. A cleaning cartridge
can only be used 50 times or as instructed on the cartridge packaging.
Always place a check mark in a box each time you use the cartridge to clean
the drive. Replace the cleaning cartridge when all the boxes are checked.
New cleaning cartridges are available from your manufacturer.
