Regarding media, observe these general rules:
• Use only drive-appropriate formatted cartridges. Formatted cartridges contain embedded
servo code, written on the media, during the cartridge manufacturing process. Cartridges
cannot be bulk erased or degaussed.
• Clean the tape drive when the Clean Drive LED is illuminated. Be sure to use only drive-
appropriate cleaning cartridges.
