bar code reader automatically scans each cartridge in the magazine upon
power up, after a reset, after an import or export, or when a re-inventory

there is no user interface with the bar code reader via the front panel
operator controls or LCD screen. The information from each label is
stored in memory and available through SCSI and On-board Remote
Management to the computer's operating system or backup application

If utilizing the bar code reader, you must apply or slide the bar code
labels into the appropriate slot on the front of each cartridge. The labels
must conform to ANSI/AIM BC1 -1995 Uniform Symbology Specification
Code 39. A set of bar code labels is initially included with the autoloader.
