Bar Code Labels
72 Quantum LTO-9 HH SAS User’s Guide
Note: The tape drive does not require bar code labels, but you may
choose to use labels for tape cartridge identification purposes.
When attaching a bar code label to a tape cartridge, place the label only
in the recessed label area (see 5 in Figure 8
on page 66). A label that
extends outside of the recessed area can cause loading problems in the
drive.
Caution: Do not place any type of mark on the white space at either
end of the bar code.

Guidelines for Using Bar Code Labels
Apply the following guidelines whenever using bar code labels:
• Use only Quantum-approved bar code labels.
• Do not reuse a label or reapply a used label over an existing label.
• Before you apply a new label, remove the old label by slowly pulling
it at a right angle to the cartridge case.
• Use peel-clean labels that do not leave a residue after being
removed. If there is glue residue on the cartridge, remove it by
gently rubbing it with your finger. Do not use a sharp object, water,
or a chemical to clean the label area.
• Examine the label before applying it to the cartridge. Do not use the
label if it has voids or smears in the printed characters or bar code.
