Barcode Requirements

Cartridges must have an external barcode label that is machine-readable 

to identify the volume serial number. A barcode must use only 

uppercase letters A to Z and/or numeric values 0 to 9. The library 

supports Code 39 (3 of 9) type barcode labels.
For LTO media barcodes, the library dynamically supports 1 to 14 

characters for volume serial number plus a two-character media type 

identifier. The image below is an example of a supported LTO barcode 

label.

Note:

A 14-character barcode label length may not be printable 

according to the Code 39 label specifications for the tape 

cartridge area to which the label is attached. The effective tape 

cartridge barcode label length, including any media ID, may be 

limited to a maximum of 12 characters.

Quantum-supplied barcode labels will provide the best results. Barcode 

labels from other sources can be used, but they must meet the 

following requirements:

• ANSI MH10.8M-1983 Standard
• Number of characters: 6+2 (LTO) 
• Background reflection: greater than 25 percent
• Print contrast: greater than 75 percent
• Ratio: greater than 2.2
• Module: >=.254 mm
• Print tolerance: ± 57 mm

Additional Requirements:

• Height of the visible portion of the barcode: 10 mm ±2 mm
• Length of the rest zones: 5.25 mm ± 0.25 mm

two-character media

identifier (L1, L2, L3,
 L4, or L5, L6, LT, LU, 

 
LV)
