This option builds a new inventory of cartridges in the ValueLoader. If 

using a bar code reader, this option also scans the bar code labels on each

option, follow these steps:

From the Home screen or main menu, press the 

 or 

 button until

Press 

 to access the available options.

Press the 

 or 

 button until 

Re-inventory

 appears on the LCD 

screen. Press 

.

The ValueLoader will then check the drive and each slot for the 

presence of a tape in order to update inventory information.

If the cartridge is not a valid cleaning cartridge, the LCD 

screen will display 

Bad clean tape

 and the cartridge will be 

exported.

If the Clean Drive or Media Attention LED is illuminated 

again when you insert another cartridge immediately after 

cleaning, see 

 on page 46 to troubleshoot.
