I have a Cleaning Tape mounted in Slot 1.

I would like to start a Cleaning Job, When I choose Device/Clean Tape Head, It prompts me to 'Choose the cleaning tape slot' but only Slot 6 is available.

How can I clean the Tape Drive so?

Thanks

Check the documentation for your library. Some libraries only allow cleaning tapes in specific slots (usually the last one).

Also run the Device Configuration Utility to asign that slot as the location of the cleaning tape.
