A method for preventing dust from entering a tape drive system is disclosed. Initially, a cooling fan is allowed to rotate in one direction to provide airflow to the tape drive system. In response to a detection of a loading or unloading of a tape cartridge or a head brush operation, the cooling fan is allowed to rotate in a different direction to provide airflow in an opposite direction in order to blow any dust and debris, which may be introduced from a tape cartridge or may already be resident on a tape head, out the front of the tape drive system.
