Each cartridge has an operator-attached, machine-readable barcode label
on it for identification purposes. The library can dynamically support
barcode labels with 1 to 14 characters plus a one-character or two-
character media identifier, depending on drive type (LTO or DLT). The
library currently supports Code 39 (3 of 9) type barcode labels. For more
information about tape cartridges, see
Tape Drives on page 94. For
additional specification information, see Barcode Requirements on
page 403. For details about the use of drives and cartridges, see Mixed
Media Support and Rules on page 97.
