<h1 class="topictitle1">Clean quarter-inch tape drives</h1>
<div><p>For quarter-inch tape drives, you should clean the head after every
8 hours of tape movement when using IBM<sup>®</sup> tape cartridges. Other tape media might
require cleaning more frequently.</p>
<p>When you use a new tape cartridge, it is advisable to clean the head after
2 hours of tape movement, or before loading each new tape cartridge.</p>
<p>System messages are posted when the tape unit determines that cleaning
is required. The MLR1, MLR1-S, and MLR3 tape units also have a cleaning status
light that indicates that cleaning is required. It is important to respond
to these cleaning indicators and clean the head using a recommended cleaning
method.</p>
