154 HP Ultrium Drives and Tape Cartridges Appendix A
Using Ultrium Cartridge Bar Code Labels
Make it a practice to use bar code labels on your tape cartridges. Your host
software may need to keep track of the following information and the
associated bar code:
■ Date of format or initialization
■ Cartridge owner (such as a group or department)
■ Storage purpose
Note If the host software does not keep track of this information,
create a method for doing so.
Ultrium cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the cartridge
next to the write-protect switch. Use this area for attaching the bar code label
( Figure 44 on page 155). Do not apply labels onto the cartridge except in
this designated area.
