partition,keepthefollowinginmind:
 Cleaningcartridgesmustbeidentifiedwith“CLN”atthebeginningof
thebarcodesequenceontheirlabels.Thisrequirementappliestoboth
standardandcustombarcodelabels.
 Cleaningcartridgesusedinacleaningpartitionmustbein
MaintenanceTeraPackmagazines,whichareidentifiedbySpectra‐
uniquelabels.Thelibraryautomaticallypreventsimportingcleaning
