Supported Barcode Formats
Dell supplies industry standard LTO barcode labels with a length of 6 + 2
corresponding to the Standard Six and Plus Six formats listed below. For
advanced uses, your Dell library supports label lengths of up to 16
characters allowing you to create custom labels. Refer to
on page 417 for label details.
The library supports the following tape cartridge barcode formats:
•
Standard
— Five to 16 characters total, including a barcode number
and optional two-character media ID. If a media ID is included, the
label must have a five to 14 character barcode number followed by a
media ID; for example, “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXL4”. If a media ID is not
included, the label must have a five to 16 character barcode number;
for example, “XXXXX” or “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”. Only the
barcode number is reported to the host.
•
Standard Six
— Six character barcode number with or without a two-
character media ID; for example, “XXXXXXL4” or ”XXXXXX”. Only
the six character barcode number is reported to the host.
•
Plus Six

media ID; for example, “XXXXXXL4”. The six character barcode and
media ID are reported to the host.
•
Extended

and optional two-character media ID. All characters are reported to
the host, regardless of the barcode label having a media ID or not. If a
media ID is included, the label must have a five to 14 character
barcode followed by a media ID; for example,
“XXXXXXXXXXXXXXL4”. If a media ID is not included, the label
must have a five to 16 character barcode number; for example,
“XXXXX” or “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”.
