Select Configuration > Configure Auto Cleaning to enable or disable automatic head cleaning of the tape drive in the library.

Note: It is recommended that the Auto Clean function is enabled on the library. With the Auto Clean function enabled, drive cleaning occurs automatically. The only time Auto Cleaning is disabled is when your Backup Application requires that it has control.

The drive can also be cleaned manually. For details, see Cleaning the drive manually.
