Clean the tape head by following these steps:
1. Remove the tape cartridge from the tape drive.
2. Push the head loading lever to the right, as if you had installed a tape.
This engages the tape head, allowing you to reach it.
3. Dip a clean, nonfibrous cotton swab in either tape head cleaning fluid
or Freon-TF, and wipe the tape head (see Figure B-3).
4. Use a second, clean swab and wipe the head again to remove any
residue.
Do not use wooden-stemmed cotton swabs; the tip of the swab can break off
and become lodged in the tape drive.
