Apply Cartridge Labels

Cartridge labels reflect the cartridge media and usage. If your cartridges were not ordered with labels already applied, you must apply them yourself. You must correctly label all cartridges for tape library use.

Caution. Possible misread of volume number label: Make sure the edges of the labels do not curl. Curling causes the cartridges to stick in the tape drive loader and the robot to misread the label.

Valid Labels

LTO cartridge labels have eight characters. The last two characters are the Media ID (C1, C2, CU, L1, L2, or L3). CLN or DG are the first characters on the cleaning or diagnostic label.
