Table 5 Configuration screen functions (continued)

Description

Function

Both IPv4 and IPv6 can be enabled, but both cannot be disabled at
the same time.

Configure Barcode Reporting Formats—Defines how barcodes appear
on the OCP and sent to the host. Barcode reporting can be configured
as 6 to 8 characters and left or right aligned. If 6 characters with left
alignment is chosen, any characters after the six are truncated. With
6 characters and right alignment, only the last six characters are shown
with the beginning characters truncated.

Configure Reserve Slots Up to nine slots can be reserved for special
purposes, such as cleaning tapes. The default is none. Select the number
you want to reserve and select Save.

NOTE:

Reserve slots are not available on the EML 71e.

Configure Inventory Mode enables you to require barcodes on tape
cartridges, or to make them optional. Requiring barcodes significantly
shortens inventory time.

Use the up and down arrows to adjust the screen contrast. The screen
refreshes each time an arrow is pressed. Select the OK button when
finished.
