ABSTRACT:
An optical information processing apparatus includes a loading section in which a disk cartridge enclosing an information recording medium therein and a cleaning cartridge enclosing a cleaning member are selectively loaded. When the cleaning cartridge is loaded in the apparatus, the cleaning member contacts the objective of an optical head of the apparatus. In response to a detection signal from a sensor for detecting that the cleaning cartridge is loaded in the loading section, a drive mechanism of the apparatus moves the optical head and cleaning member relative to each other while keeping the objective and cleaning member in sliding contact.
