operation. An unsolicited media enter operation is performed
without VolServ system GUI interaction.
During an unsolicited media enter operation, media are placed

the load port. The archive robot reads the media labels and
sends the media identifiers to VolServ. If any of the media in
the load port are shown as checked-out by VolServ, the setting
of the auto check-in parameter determines the action taken by
Vol Se rv .
If media to be entered are not labeled, the Reprint Media Label
command can be used to print individual barcode labels or
smaller, human-readable-only paper labels. Refer to “Reprint a
Media Label” on page 4-37 for more information.
