Preventive Maintenance
The only maintenance normally rquired is to clean the
read/write head. It may be cleaned through the cartridge slot.
The Tandberg Data TDC Cleaning Cartridge Kit is
recommended for head cleaning.
IMPORTANT! Do not use any hard or sharp objects that might
scratch the surface of the head! Even small scratches may damage
the head permanently!
Always clean the head immediately after using a new cartridge,
and if large numbers of rewrite or reread operations are
performed.
Use only certified quality cartridges for the drive. Do not use
worn or audibly noisy cartridges. Cartridges which repeatedly
require rewriting of large numbers of blocks per track should also
be rejected.
