Bar Code Labels

Review the following information before attaching bar code labels to the
AIT data cartridges.
Note: Spectra Logic bar code labels are pre-approved for
use with the Spectra 12000 library; keep the following
information for future reference.
Label Quality Use labels designed for AIT-2 and AIT-3 data cartridges. Avoid
poor quality labels that have poor contrast and resolution.
Bar Code Type Use only bar codes with standard 3-in-9 encoding
(Standard 39 Code).
Number of Characters Use labels with eight or fewer characters
(including zeros).
Checksums Bar code labels are available with or without checksum
characters; the Spectra 12000 library accepts only bar code labels with a
checksum character.
Note: Use AIT Code 39 labels with checksum.
Bar code labels allow the Spectra 12000 library to track data cartridges
within the library.
Attach the Spectra Logic approved bar code label to the cartridge with
the numbers closest to the top of the cartridge (the side with the clear
plastic window); make sure the edge of the label is parallel to the edge
