The cleaning of the tape path in the 3592 drive is initiated when more than 5,000 mounts have occurred, or when more than 20 full file passes of data have been processed, or when the drive detects a degraded head or channel condition.

If you load an expired cleaning cartridge, the drive will eject the cartridge and post a status message to indicate that cleaning was not performed.
