Scalar i6000 Installation Guide 137
Installing Barcode Labels
Each cartridge in the library must have an external label that is operator and machine readable to identify
the barcode number. Most manufacturers offer cartridges with the labels already applied or with the labels
included that can be attached at the customer site.
All barcode labels are applied to the front of a cartridge. Figure 21
on 137 shows an example of a barcode
label being applied to a LTO cartridge.

Duplicate barcodes are not supported even if you have mixed media or multiple
partitions in the library. If the library has cartridges with identical barcode labels,
the library will issue a ticket notifying you of the problem. Areas in the LMC
where media IDs are listed will show information for the first cartridge, but the
cartridge with the duplicate barcode label will not be listed.
To ensure the proper operation of tape cartridges, pickers, and drives, make
sure your hands are dirt- and grease-free before handling tape cartridges.
Clean the sides of all tape cartridges with a clean, dry paper towel or cloth
before installing them in the library.
Do not place a barcode label on top of a cartridge. Placing a barcode
label on top of a cartridge can cause an inventory to fail or damage
the drive.
