Barcode Reader

You can enable or disable the Barcode Reader from the Operator Control Panel (OCP). Disabling the barcode reader prevents the barcode reader from attempting to read label information. If barcode labels are not being used, disabling the barcode reader will reduce initialization time.

Either a power cycle (through the front panel button) or an Autoloader Reset (through the Autoloader Reset command found on the Error Logs and Diagnostics page of the Web interface) is required for the change to take effect.

To change the Barcode Reader setting:

1.From the main menu, scroll to Configuration, and then press Enter.

2.From the Configuration menu, scroll to Barcode Reader and press Enter.

3.A checkmark will be present before either Barcode Enabled or Barcode Disabled to indicate the current setting. Scroll to the desired setting and press

Enter.

4.Press Esc as necessary to return to the main menu.

5.Power cycle the autoloader as requested.

SCSI Barcode Length

SCSI Barcode Length sets the maximum number of barcode characters that will be returned in the SCSI Read Element Data. The display of barcode information on the Web interface and Operator Control Panel (OCP) are unaffected by this setting.

Setting the SCSI Barcode Length to 0 disables truncation of the barcode and the full barcode will be returned in the SCSI Read Element Data.

This setting is particularly useful if you have a pool of media previously catalogued by another device that has a limitation on the number of barcode characters that can be read (typically 6 or 9). Adjusting the PV124T setting to match the previous hardware prevents the user from having to re-catalog all barcode labeled media previously used in the other device.

To change the SCSI Barcode setting:

1.From the main menu, scroll to Configuration, and then press Enter.

2.From the Configuration menu, scroll to SCSI Barcode and press Enter.

3.Scroll to the desired setting (from 0 to 15) and press Enter.

4.Press Esc as necessary to return to the main menu. The autoloader does not need to be reset when making this change.
