Setting The Cartridges - Sony StorStation LIB-81 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting the Cartridges

Preparing the Cartridge
Prepare a cartridge and set it into the AIT library.
Check the erase-protection tab and prepare your cartridge for use. If you are
using a model equipped with a bar code reader, you can manage cartridges with
bar code labels. Affix bar code labels to your cartridges as necessary. If you are
using a model without a bar code reader, proceed to step 2.
Note
The type of bar code is fixed to Code 39 with check digit for models equipped
with a bar code reader. We recommend that you use Sony bar code labels for the
AIT library (sold separately). If you use other types of bar code labels, you may
encounter recognition problems. For details about Sony bar code labels, see
"Optional Accessories (sold separately)" (page 96).

Affix bar code labels as necessary.
Affix the barcode label in the position shown in the figure, orienting it so
that the numbers are at the top.
Caution
Models equipped with a bar code reader
By default, the library is not set to read bar codes. If you modify this setting
so that the library can read bar codes and use cartridges without bar code
labels, initialization after turning on the library becomes unusually long.
For details about how to set the library to read bar codes, see Chapter 3,
"Basic Usage" (page 34).
Models without a bar code reader
Modifying the default setting so that the library can read bar codes
generates an error. You should not modify this setting.
