Action:
• If the drive cleaning light is on, clean the drive.
NOTE: DLT cleaning cartridges are good for only 20 uses. If the
cleaning cartridge is near that limit and the drive cleaning light is still on
after running the cleaning cartridge, use a new cleaning tape to clean
the drive.
• If the tape is write protected, remove the write protection. If the tape still
does not work, insert another tape into the drive to see if the original tape is
faulty.
• Refer to the tape drive documentation to be sure the type of tape being used
is supported by the drive.
• Check each tape cartridge that has been used in the drive to verify its
condition and inspect its tape leader to verify it is not damaged and is in the
correct position. After you locate any bad cartridges, dispose of them. A
working tape drive may drop its leader when using bad cartridges, indicating
that they need replacing. If bad cartridges are found, you will need to inspect
the DLT drives leader assembly.
− To examine the cartridge take-up leader, tilt the cartridge receiver door
