Bar Code Labels
A bar code label contains:
• A volume serial number (VOLSER) that is human-readable
• A bar code that the library can read
Note:
The tape drive does not require bar code labels, but you may
choose to use labels for tape cartridge identification purposes.
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, WORM 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, T or U.
page 70 shows a sample bar code label for the LTO Ultrium Tape
Cartridge.
