Applying Cartridge Labels

Applying Cartridge Labels
The DLT Library uses type IV or type IIIXT cartridge tapes for data, plus
diagnostic and cleaning cartridges. Different types of data cartridge are
distinguished by a small letter next to the last number in the VOLSER. Cleaning
and diagnostic cartridges are distinguished by a two or three letter prefix in the
VOLSER. The correct labeling is as follows:
S
S
S
S
Note: Diagnostic cartridges are physically the same as data cartridges. The DLT
Figure 4–2.
Applying Cartridge Labels
The operator is responsible for applying lables correctly as indicated above and in
Figure 4–2. Cartridge surfaces should be clean and at room temperature when
applying labels. Labels can be inserted into the recessed area, or the backing can
be peeled away to expose the adhesive, if a more permanent application is desired.
Do not place labels anywhere but in the recessed VOLSER slot, and make sure the
edges do not curl up, which might cause misreading or sticking.

Type IV data cartridges should be labeled with a "D" label.
Type IIIXT data cartridges should be labeled with an "E" label.
Cleaning cartridges should be labeled with a "CLN" label.
Diagnostic cartridges should be labeled with a "DG" label.
Library requires the "DG" label before it will use a cartridge for diagnostic
routines. One diagnostic cartridge is supplied with the library.
