Guidelines for Using Bar Code Labels
Apply the following guidelines whenever using bar code labels:
• Use only Quantum-approved bar code labels on cartridges to be
used in an Quantum tape library.
• Do not reuse a label or reapply a used label over an existing label.
• Before you apply a new label, remove the old label by slowly pulling
it at a right angle to the cartridge case.
• Use peel-clean labels that do not leave a residue after being
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.
• Examine the label before applying it to the cartridge. Do not use the
label if it has voids or smears in the printed characters or bar code (a
library's inventory operation will take much longer if the bar code
label is not readable).
• Remove the label from the label sheet carefully. Do not stretch the
label or cause the edges to curl.
• Position the label within the recessed label area (see 5 in Figure 8 on
page 64).
• With light finger pressure, smooth the label so that no wrinkles or
bubbles exist on its surface.
• 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.
• Do not place other machine-readable labels on other surfaces of the
cartridge. They may interfere with the ability of the drive to load the
cartridge.
