Cleaning the tape heads
When a cleaning cartridge is inserted into the 8mm tape drive in the same way as a data cartridge,
head cleaning will start automatically. Head cleaning takes about one minute. The cleaning
cartridge is ejected automatically after cleaning is completed.
Replacing the cleaning cartridge
Replace the cleaning cartridge in the following instances:
When it has been used 18 times (may vary if also used with other devices
When it is not automatically ejected within 40 seconds of being inserted
When all the tape has been wound up onto the right-hand reel (cleaning tape cannot be reused)
