Bar Code Label Requirements

Required
When read by a library's bar code reader, the bar code identifies the cartridge's
VOLSER to the library. The bar code also tells the library whether the cartridge is a
data cartridge or cleaning cartridge. In addition, the bar code includes the
two-character media-type identifier Lx, where x equals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. L identifies
the cartridge as an LTO cartridge and the number represents the generation of
cartridge for that cartridge type. Figure 6-3 on page 6-6 shows a sample bar code
label for the LTO Ultrium Tape Cartridge.
Tape cartridges can be ordered with the labels included or with custom labels.

*An Ultrium 3 Tape Drive must have a minimum firmware level of 54xx for it to be
compatible with the WORM cartridge.
To determine the complete specifications of the bar code and the bar code label,
contact your sales representative.
When attaching a bar code label to a tape cartridge, place the label only in the
recessed label area (see 5 in Figure 6-1 on page 6-1). A label that extends outside
of the recessed area can cause loading problems in the drive.
Attention:
Do not place any type of mark on the white space at either end of the
bar code. A mark in this area may prevent the library from reading the label.
