2) If eject button is pressed before cleaning operations, LED will blink green at six cycles per second, and the DPCC will be ejected immediately. If drive is already performing a DPCC insert sequence, it will be completed before the cartridge is ejected.

3) If eject button is pressed after cleaning operations are completed, LED will blink green at six cycles per second, and the cartridge will be ejected immediately.
