Procedure for Cleaning the Heads in
Stacker Mode
1.
Place the cleaning cassette into one of the magazine positions (for
example, position 8) and insert the magazine into the DAT AutoLoader.
2.
Use the Select button to select the magazine position in which you
placed the cleaning cassette.
3.
Press the Enter button to load the cleaning cassette into the drive. The
DAT AutoLoader will then automatically perform a cleaning cycle.
4.
At the end of the cleaning cycle, the drive automatically ejects the
cassette and the AutoLoader replaces it in the magazine.
5.
Note the date on the label on the cleaning cassette, so that there is a
record of how many times it has been used. After 50 uses, discard the
cassette.
IMPORTANT:
If a cleaning cassette is left permanently in the magazine, it will reduce the
amount of data that can be backed up to the magazine, since it will only have seven
positions available for data cassettes.
Procedure for Cleaning the Heads in
Random Mode
1.
The host sends a MOVE MEDIUM command to move the cleaning
cassette from the magazine to the drive. The DAT AutoLoader will only
recognize the cleaning cassette once it is loaded into the drive.
2.
The drive will then automatically perform a cleaning cycle.
3.
The drive automatically ejects the cassette after the cleaning cycle is
complete. The AutoLoader returns the cassette to its magazine position
without further host involvement.
In Random mode, the host can program a routine cleaning cycle (for example,
once a week). The cleaning cassette remains in a set position, such as, position
8, ready for use at the designated time. Remember that this will reduce the
amount of data you can back up to the magazine, since you will only have
seven positions available for data cassettes.
