OK, here it is from the BE Docs:
Setting Up Cleaning Jobs for Robotic Library Drives
You can submit once-only cleaning jobs for robotic library drives, or set up scheduled cleaning jobs. This option is not available for stand-alone drives.
Before submitting a cleaning job, you must define a cleaning slot that contains the cleaning tape.
▼ To define a cleaning slot:
1. On the navigation bar, click Devices.
2. Click Robotic Libraries, and then click the robotic library for which you are setting up the cleaning.
3. Click Slots to display the library’s slots in the right pane.
4. Select the slot that contains the cleaning tape.
5. Under General Tasks in the task bar, select Properties.
6. Select the Cleaning Slot option and click OK.
Make sure that the cleaning tape is located in the slot that you defined as the cleaning slot. After defining the cleaning slot, you can set up a cleaning job for the robotic library drive.
▼ To set up a cleaning job:
1. On the navigation bar, click Devices.
2. Click Robotic Libraries, and then click the robotic library containing the drive.
3. Select the drive.
4. Under Drive Tasks in the task pane, select Clean.
5. Select the appropriate options.
6. If you want a person or group to be notified when the job completes, on the Properties pane, under Settings, click Notification and select the options you want
7. If you want to run the job now, click Run Now. Otherwise, on the Properties pane, under Frequency, click Schedule to set the scheduling options you want to use.
You can monitor the cleaning job through the Job Monitor.
You can view cleaning statistics for the drive by right-clicking the drive and selecting Properties.
