Guidelines for using 3592 bar code labels
Apply the following guidelines whenever you use bar code labels:
v
Use only IBM-approved bar code labels.
v
Do not reuse a label or reapply a used label over an existing label.
v
Examine the label before you apply it to the cartridge. Do not use the label if it
has voids or smears in the printed characters or bar code (an application's
inventory operation will take much longer if the bar code label is not readable).
v
Position the label within the recessed bar code label area.
v
Verify that the label is smooth and parallel, and has no roll-up or roll-over. The
label must be flat to within 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) over the length of the label and
have no folds, missing pieces, or smudges.
v
Do not place other labels on any other cartridge surfaces. They might interfere
with the ability of the bar code reader to read the bar code or cause the cartridge
to get jammed.
v
Use peel-clean labels that do not leave a residue after they are removed. If there
is glue residue on the cartridge, remove it by gently rubbing it with your finger;
do not use a sharp object, water, or a chemical to clean the label area.
v
Before you apply a new label, remove the old label by slowly pulling it at a
right angle to the cartridge case.
v
Remove the label from the label sheet carefully. Do not stretch the label or cause
the edges to curl.
v
With light finger pressure, smooth the label so that no wrinkles or bubbles exist
on its surface.
Setting the write-protect switch on a 3592 cartridge
Use the write-protect switch to prevent data from being written to a 3592 tape
cartridge.
The position of the write-protect switch on the 3592 tape cartridge (see Figure 49
on page 148) determines whether or not you can write to the tape.
v
To write data to or erase data from the cartridge, set the switch to
