Bar Code Reader
(Optional)

Located to the left of the cartridge array, the L200 bar code reader (see
figure 6) performs cartridge inventories in less than three minutes.
The bar code assembly contains a scan head that communicates with
the library controller card on an RS-422 communications link. During a
cartridge inventory, the scan head illuminates and reads the bar code
labels on the cartridges and transmits the results over the serial
communications link to the library controller card.
