48 Preparation for use
Ultrium bar code labels
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 adhesive-backed bar code label (see Figure 32 ). Only apply labels
onto the cartridge in this designated area.
Figure 32 Attaching an Ultrium bar code label
For successful operation of your tape library, place the bar code label entirely within the recessed area,
ensuring that no part of the label extends outside.
CAUTION: Apply the bar code label as shown in Figure 33 , with the alphanumeric portion facing the hub
side of the cartridge (LTO2) or numeric portion away from the hub (LTO3) . Never apply multiple labels onto
a cartridge, because extra labels can cause the cartridge to jam inside a tape drive.

Media label identifiers
Always use the proper bar code labels for your drive technology. An L2 identifier (Ultrium 460) or L3
identifier (Ultrium 960) is located at the end of the 8-character HP Ultrium bar code labels on data
cartridges. The universal LTO cleaning cartridges have a CLN and L1 media identifier on the label.
