Cleaning tapes however are specifically designed to ensure that they remove any dust r grime that has formed on the read or write heads of your SAIT tape drive. By using SAIT cleaning tapes you can maximize both life and efficiency of your SAIT drive. Use a cleaning cartridge when the cleaning light or LED lights up.
