Does the AIT drive need cleaning?

In the event that contamination build-up occurs on the tape head, the AIT drive provides an automated cleaning solution. The Super Head Cleaner is a built-in, head cleaning mechanism that is activated when soft errors (ECC, rereads, rewrites) reach a certain threshold. AIT’s Super Head Cleaner increases the head life, and reduces the need for cleaning tapes and the operational problems they can cause.
