Truffete,

I beleive that these drives have an optical reader that senses the Beginning Of Tape(BOT) . Sometimes this gets dirty and is unable to detect BOT marker, thus unspooling the tape. A tape cleaner will NOT clean this sensor. It is located on the lower left side of the Drive. You can look at the mirror on the bottom of the tape to help locate it. Clean with a lint-free pad and some isopropyl alcohol.

This might help
