Detailed Specifications for TS11xx Technology
Cartridge Barcodes
Figure 6 shows the dimensional specifications for TS11xx technology labels
with the alphanumeric characters above the barcode.
Note: When using barcode labels with alphanumeric characters along
the bottom edge, the label must be positioned so that barcode is
at least 13.72 mm below the top edge of the cartridge to ensure
that the barcode reader can read the label.
Important
The barcode label must only have one barcode on it. If multiple barcodes are
present, the library’s barcode scanner cannot determine which one to process
when scanning the cartridge.
