Figure 30 on page 121 shows a sample bar code label for the LTO 5 Tape Cartridge.
Note:
Only LTO 5 and later LTO tape drives and their supported media are
supported by the TS4500 tape library.
You can order tape cartridges with the labels included, or you can order custom
labels. The bar code must meet predefined specifications. They include (but are not
limited to):
v
Eight uppercase alphanumeric characters, where the last 2 characters must be
L1
,
L2
,
L3
,
L4
,
L5
,
L6
,
L7
,
L8
,
LT
,
LU
,
LV
,
LW
,
LX
,
LY
, or
M8
.
v
Label and printing to be non-glossy
v
Nominal narrow line or space width of 0.423 mm (0.017 in.)
v
Wide to narrow ratio of 2.75:1
v
Minimum bar length of 11.1 mm (0.44 in.)
To determine the complete specifications of the bar code and the bar code label, go
to the IBM LTO Ultrium Cartridge Label Specification web page and download the
PDF file of the specification,
IBM LTO Ultrium Cartridge Label Specification
. You can
also contact your IBM Sales Representative for this specification.
When attaching a bar code label to a tape cartridge, place the label only in the
recessed bar code label area. A label that extends outside of the recessed area can
cause loading problems in the drive or the library.
Attention:
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 TS4500 tape library from reading
the label.
You can use the TS4500 command line interface (modifyVolserReporting command)
to configure the library so that it reports to the server all eight characters of the
VOLSER on the bar code label or only the first six characters.
Note:
If you suspect that the library is having problems reading the bar code
labels, an IBM service representative can use the TS4500 management GUI to slow
the scanner speed as part of problem determination.
