IBM MAGSTAR DC 3592 CLEANING TAPE 18P7535 50cleanings

All IBM media products reflect the high standards of a leading provider of media and storage drive technology. To avoid errors caused by dirt, it is important to clean the 3592 tape drive tape path and manually clean the outside of the data cartridges as needed. Tape path cleaning in the 3592 drive is initiated when more than 5,000... mounts have occurred, or when more than 20 complete file passes of data have been processed, or when the drive detects a degraded head or channel condition. Failure to clean a 3592 drive may result in a build- up of dirt on the read/write head and drive malfunction. If you insert an expired cleaning cartridge, the drive will eject the cartridge and display a status message indicating that cleaning has not been performed.
