MAINTENANCE TASKS
Cleaning the 1/4 inch cartridge tape drive
The 1/4 inch cartridge 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.
1. If there is a cartridge in the tape drive, remove it.
2. Insert the cleaning cartridge into the tape drive and close the
door. Cleaning begins automatically once the cartridge is
inserted.
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.
Cleaning the floppy disk drive
The floppy disk drive should be cleaned once each month. To
clean the drive, you must have the cleaning kit containing two
cleaning disks for double-sided drives and a bottle of solution.
(Refer to Appendix B, “Supplies,” for ordering instructions.)
How to clean the floppy disk drive
Note: There must be power to the floppy disk drive to perform
this procedure.
1. Apply a small amount of the cleaning solution to the cleaning
disk. Apply just enough solution to saturate the area exposed
in each of the two large cutouts.

2. Insert the prepared cleaning disk, label side to the left, into
the floppy disk drive until the jacket is solidly against the
stops, just as you would insert a floppy disk. Move the Drive
lever into the closed position (clockwise) and allow the
floppy disk drive to run for at least 30 seconds.
