the way it is supposed to work is that when loading a cleaning tape the is loaded into the drive, advanced a pre-set amount and then eject the tape from the drive. <br />
<br />
When a cleaning tape is used up the same thing happens, it is just the tape is ejected quicker. <br />
<br />
so it is correct that the cleaning tape is automatically ejected. <br />
If it is being ejected right away then try a new cleaning tape.<br />
If a new cleaning tape has been used then it is time to ck with Dell support.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
