  • Page 48: Ultrium Bar Code Labels

    Always use the proper bar code labels for your drive technology. An L2 identifier (Ultrium 460) or L3 identifier (Ultrium 960) is located at the end of the 8-character HP Ultrium bar code labels on data cartridges. The universal LTO cleaning cartridges have a CLN and L1 media identifier on the label.

    Troubleshooting An incorrect installation or configuration can cause platform problems. In this case, the library appears to be operating normally, but no data can be interchanged, or performance is poor. You also might or might not get an error code on the operator control panel (OCP). To identify an error caused by this type of problem, check your installation and configuration setup.
