Cleaning Cartridge
Imation cleaning cartridge products are designed specifically for each tape drive format
–
The cleaning
process is unique to each Ultrium drive. The amount of cleanings per cartridge is based on how the drive
performs the cleaning process. Cleaning is done by shuffling a specific amount of tape over the drive
head based on a specific cleaning algorithm that is unique to each drive manufacturer, therefore different
amounts of tape are used for each drive—some use more, some use less. Each process provides a
cleaning that is right for its drive. Regular cleaning of the drive reduces build-up or stains that have been
deposited on the head.
