There are two ways to initialize media:
• Initializing a standalone drive
1. Select a standalone drive from a list of initialization devices and define the
label range of media to be initialized.
2. Click Set Label Range to reserve a barcode label range for the media, and
then click Initialize. If you do not define the label range, you are prompted
to define the label for each medium manually.
3. Mount the first medium with the first label on the specified device, and click
Initialize. Enable Force Initialize if a medium contains data.
4. After initialization finishes, you are prompted to load the second medium
with the second label. This process continues until you either cancel it or the
last medium is initialized.
• Initializing using a barcode library
After the media are properly labelled and loaded into the library slots:
1. Select the library from the device list and click Initialize. A barcode scan is
performed on the library and a list of blank or unknown media is displayed
along with their barcode labels.
