6.4.2 Tape volumes

Tape volumes require a different procedure to make them ready for use. Firstly,
a tape volume has to be prepared. Most modern tape libraries rely on a barcode
label on the side of the tape cartridge to provide the robot with information about
the cartridge. Most DLT and LTO media come without labels, but typically cannot
be used (in a library) without them. You should order labels when you order your
tape supples. Labels can be made to your specifications. A label normally has
