Cleaning the AIT Drive Heads
The Sony AIT drives feature a built in cleaning function to prevent and
recover from head contamination. However, occasional cleaning with
approved SONY Cleaning Media may be required for excessive head
contamination.
Head cleaning should be performed in the following situations:
When the drive fails to write or read data correctly.
Note: Dirty heads are not the only cause of read/write
failures. Damaged media can also cause this type of
failure.
Some installations may require scheduled head cleaning using a
cleaning cassette. Most software applications have features that allow
Figure 10-3 AIT-2 data cartridges.
