Labeling Tape Cartridges
Make it a practice to use bar code labels on your tape cartridges. Your host software
may need to keep track of the following information and the associated bar code:
•
date of format or initialization
•
cartridge owner (such as group or department)
•
storage purpose (such as backup, old version of operating system)
If the host software does not keep track of this information, create a method of doing
so.
Slide the label into the slot on the face of the cartridge as illustrated in Figure 2-1.
If bar code labels are not used and the "Barcode On/Off" configuration is set to
"Off," the Inventory Check test performance can be significantly impacted. This test
runs when the library is powered on and whenever the front access door is opened.
See Appendix A for information about ordering additional bar code labels.
