Hi

We got some nasty errors on our 3570-B12 unit and we ran the
Cleaning tape manually through it a few times and it now seems quite happy.

Does the 3570 automatically use the cleaning tape as required? IBM recommend 
the tape to be changed after 100 uses. How does one know when the 100 has 
expired? Is there a counter somewhere?

What do you people do with cleaning tapes? How often do you use them? Do you 
depend upon the auto-clean feature of the unit, or do you prefer to do it 
manually?

Regards
Shane
