Caution: Only use HP Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridges in Ultrium 460
or 460-FC tape drives.
If the cleaning cartridge is ejected immediately, then it has expired or is not an
Ultrium cleaning cartridge. Discard it and use a new one.
To clean the tape heads:
1. Move a cleaning cartridge into the drive using your application software. The
tape drive automatically loads the cartridge and cleans the heads. The cleaning
cycle can take up to five minutes.
2. Move the cleaning cartridge back to the proper storage bin using your
application software.
