Bar Code Reader

The bar code reader is an integral part of the library accessor. The bar code reader
provides inventory feedback to the host application, Operator Control Panel
display, and Web User Interface by reading cartridge bar code labels. The library
stores the customized inventory data in memory.

the bar code label on the tape cartridge. Bar code selection is available for libraries
with library code 4.50 or greater.
