Cleaning the quarter inch cartridge (QIC) tape drive
The quarter inch cartridge (QIC) tape drive heads should be cleaned
at least once a week. If you use the drive for eight hours or more per
day, then you should clean the drive daily. The process is simple and
requires very little time.
Step 1. If there is a cartridge in the tape drive, remove it.
Step 2. Insert the cleaning cartridge into the tape drive and close the door.
Cleaning begins automatically once the cartridge is inserted.
Step 3. Allow the tape to run for approximately 30 seconds, then remove it.
Note: Replace the foam pad on the cleaning cartridge after it has
been used three times. The cleaning cartridge itself can be used
approximately 100 times.
