Installing Barcode Labels
Each cartridge in the library must have an external label that is machine
readable to identify the barcode. Most manufacturers offer cartridges
with the labels already applied or with the labels included that you can
attach.
All barcode labels must be applied to the front of a cartridge. Peel off the
label and place it on the cartridge. The label must be placed entirely
within the recessed area on the cartridge. Verify that the label is oriented
so that the numbers appear above the barcode (see Figure 43 on
page 420).
Place the barcode label as level as possible in the provided space for the
label. If the label is not placed horizontally level, barcode label scan/read
operations may encounter difficulties reading the label.
The cartridge cannot have any stickers or labels attached to the top or
bottom because if the labels come loose, they can get caught in the tape
drives or become unreadable by the scanner.
Caution: Do not place a barcode label or any labels on the top or
bottom of a cartridge. Doing so can cause the tape
cartridge and tape drive operations to fail.
