Starting Barcode The first barcode number in the cartridge sequence.
You can enter any alpha-numeric string for the starting
barcode (uppercase letters only). Subsequent barcodes are
incremented accordingly. For example, if you enter AA, the
cartridges are numbered AA0000, AA0001, AA0002, and so
on. If you enter a starting barcode with less than 6
characters, zeroes are appended to the barcode to make it 6
characters long.
Media Type The media type of the cartridges.
The available media type options are determined by the
type of tape drive selected when the partition was
created (see "Media" on page 224).
Media Capacity The capacity of the cartridges. Select an option:
l Native Size - The capacity is determined by the
selected media type.
l Custom Size - The capacity is a custom value. Enter
the custom cartridge capacity in the box. Make sure the
value is within the acceptable range displayed next to
the box
3. Click Apply.
