Ultrium bar code labels

Ultrium cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect

Figure 32 Attaching an Ultrium bar code label
For successful operation of your tape library, place the bar code label entirely within the recessed area,
ensuring that no part of the label extends outside.
CAUTION: Apply the bar code label as shown in
side of the cartridge (LTO2) or numeric portion away from the hub (LTO3). Never apply multiple labels onto
a cartridge, because extra labels can cause the cartridge to jam inside a tape drive.

cartridges. The universal LTO cleaning cartridges have a CLN and L1 media identifier on the label.
