• Extended — Five to 15 characters total, including a barcode
number and optional media ID. All characters are reported to the
host, regardless of having a media ID or not. If a media ID is
included, the label must have a five to 13 character barcode
followed by a media ID; for example, “XXXXXL2” or
“XXXXXXXXXXXXXL2”. If a media ID is not included, the label must
have a five to 15 character barcode; for example, “XXXXX” or
“XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”.
• Media ID Last — Five to 13 character barcode number followed by
media ID; for example, “XXXXXXXXXXXXXL4”. The media ID is
reported to the host last.
• Media ID First — Five to 13 character barcode number followed by
a two-character media ID, for example; “XXXXXXXXXXXXXL4”. The
media ID is reported to the host first, as in “L4XXXXXXXXXXXXX”.
• Standard (default) — Five to 15 characters total, including a
barcode number and optional media ID. The media ID is not
reported to the host. If a media ID is included, the label must have a
five to 13 character barcode followed by a media ID; for example,
“XXXXXL3” or “XXXXXXXXXXXXXL3”. If a media ID is not included,
the label must have a five to 15 character barcode; for example,
“XXXXX” or “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”.
Installing Barcode Labels
Each cartridge in the library must have an external label that is machine
readable to identify the barcode. Most manufacturers offer cartridges
with the labels already applied or with the labels included that you can
attach.
All barcode labels must be applied to the front of a cartridge. Peel off
the label and place it on the cartridge. The label must be placed entirely
within the recessed area on the cartridge. Verify that the label is
oriented so that the numbers appear above the barcode (see
Figure 81
on page 340).
Place the barcode label as level as possible in the provided space for the
label. If the label is not placed horizontally level, barcode label scan/read
operations may encounter difficulties reading the label.
