Yes, a slot is used when you check in a cleaning cartridge. Make sure you
have the correct bar code on it (CLNInn - as described in the 3583 book). I
to have set drives to ASNEEDED.

Subject: 3583-L36 drive
Hello *SM'ers...
Anyone familiar with the 3583 LTO drive? I just installed the L36 model
(36 tapes) yesterday. There is an extra slot at the top of each column of
18 tapes that seems to be the perfect spot for a cleaning tape. But i
cannot find documentation to support this. Can this drive hold a cleaning
tape internally (as the 3570 does) or must i give up one of the 36 tape
slots for a cleaning tape.
Also the options for cleaning in the docs are manual, or "host based"
meaning the software decides when to clean it. I'm guessing i set it to
"host based" and set the drives to ASNEEDED. Is this a correct setup for
automatic cleaning? Thanks for any info...
