There are two types of magazines: one for DLT and another for LTO.
Because the two magazines are the same size, they can be mixed in the
library. DLT magazines hold five cartridges, and LTO magazines hold six

Each magazine has a barcode label that the scanner reads for
identification and inventory. An optional, snap-on dust cover is available
for the magazines. Magazines with the dust cover have interlocked
stacking that enables easier storage of the media when they are removed
from the library for external storage.
