Maintaining Mass Storage Media and Devices
Under normal conditions, the head cleaning cassette is good
for approximately 25 cleanings. Additional cassettes are
available from your Digital sales representative or DECdirect
(800-DIGITAL).
If the head cleaning cassette has been used more than 25
times, both the tape/activity and write-protect lights will
flash. Press the eject button to remove the cleaning cassette.
No cleaning action will have occurred.
Cleaning the
TZ30
Clean the drive head as follows:
1. Insert the CleaningTape into the TZ30 using the instructions
in Inserting a Tape into the TZ30 (Chapter 5).
When cleaning is complete, the beeper sounds for you to
remove the CleaningTape.
2. The drive head has been cleaned if the Use Cleaning Tape
light goes off after the beeper sounds.
If the Use Cleaning Tape light remains on after the beeper
sounds, the drive head has not been cleaned and the
cartridge has expired. Replace the cleaning cartridge. (The
CleaningTape expires after approximately 20 uses.)
Cleaning the
TZ85
If the Use Cleaning Tape light comes on (See Figure 5–8), the
drive head needs cleaning. Clean the drive head as follows:
1. Insert the CleaningTape III into the TZ85 using the
instructions in Inserting a Tape into the TZ85.
When cleaning is complete, the beeper sounds for you to
remove the CleaningTape III.
2. The drive head has been cleaned if the Use Cleaning Tape
light goes off after the beeper sounds.
If the Use Cleaning Tape light remains on after the beeper
sounds, the drive head has not been cleaned and the
cartridge has expired. Replace the cleaning cartridge. (The
CleaningTape III expires after approximately 20 uses.)
