I came to my weekly autoloader change and noticed 'Clean Required' on the
panel. The changer is a 8 slot DDS4 changer and slot 8 houses the cleaning
tape.

I ran

$ amtape xxxxxxxx clean

and got

amtape: device 8 not clean: Cleaning Cartridge Installed and Ejected

I'm not actually there now, did this remotely so can't see if it still says
'Clean Required'

Does anyone know what that message means?

thanks

Tom
