Media label identifiers
Be sure to use the proper bar code labels for your drive technology. Table 7 lists
the identifier that is found at the end of 7- or 8-character SDLT and Ultrium bar
code labels.
Caution: To ensure that your bar codes meet HP’s quality standards, always
purchase them from an approved supplier and never print bar code labels
yourself. For more information, refer to the order form provided with the
library, as well as the
Bar Code Label Requirements, Compatibility and Usage
white paper available from http://www.hp.com/support .
Setting the write-protect switch
Each tape cartridge has a sliding write-protect switch. This switch determines
whether new data can be written to the tape cartridge (write-enabled) or whether
data on the tape cartridge is protected from being erased or overwritten
(write-protected).
