Using DLT1 Cartridge Bar Code Labels
Make it a practice to use bar code labels on your tape cartridges. Your
host software may need to keep track of the following information and
the associated bar code:
• Date of format or initialization
• Cartridge owner (such as a group or department)
• Storage purpose
TIP If the host software does not keep track of this information, create a
method for doing so.
DLT1 cartridges have a front slide slot located on the face of the
cartridge next to the write-protect switch. Use this slot for inserting the
bar code label by sliding it into the slot (Figure 3-3).
CAUTION The bar code label should be applied as shown in Figure 3-3 with the
alphanumeric portion facing the hub side of the tape cartridge. Do not
apply labels onto the top, bottom, sides, or back of the cartridge as this
may cause damage to the tape drive or interfere with reliable operation.
