3. Slide the cartridge into the opening on the front of the 7208 Tape Drive until
the loading mechanism pulls the cartridge into the drive and the drive door
closes.
After the cleaning cartridge has been fully inserted into the 7208 Tape Drive, the
remainder of the cleaning process is automatic. The 7208 Tape Drive:
1. Loads the cleaning tape into the tape drive
2. Turns on the Fault status light (if the light is off)
3. Cleans the drive by moving the cleaning tape forward for approximately two
minutes (the Fault status light comes on and the message CLEANING displays)
4. Unloads and ejects the cleaning tape when the cleaning operation is complete
5. Indicates a successful cleaning operation by turning off the Fault status light
The cleaning cartridge can be used for a maximum of 18 cleaning operations. If
you attempt to use the depleted cartridge, the 7208 Tape Drive automatically
detects the error, ejects the cartridge, and displays the message DEPLETED. The Fault
status light remains on to indicate that cleaning is still required. Replace the
depleted cartridge with a new cleaning cartridge.
