for that cartridge type. Figure 5-3 on page 5-6 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. To
order tape cartridges and bar code labels, see “Ordering Media Supplies” on
page 5-19. The bar code for usage in the LTO tape library must meet predefined
specifications. They include (but are not limited to):
• Six or eight (the default) uppercase alphanumeric characters, where the last two
characters must be L4, L3, L2, or L1
• Label and printing to be non-glossy
• Nominal narrow line or space width of 0.423 mm (0.017 in.)
• Wide to narrow ratio of 2.75:1
• Minimum bar length of 11.1 mm (0.44 in.)
To determine the complete specifications of the bar code and the bar code label, visit
the web at
http://www.ibm.com/storage/lto
, (select LTO Support ), or contact your
IBM Sales Representative.
When attaching a bar code label to a tape cartridge, place the label only in the
recessed label area ( in Figure 5-1 on page 5-1). A label that extends outside of the
recessed area can cause loading problems in the drive.
Note: 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.
