Using DLT 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

Note

If the host software does not keep track of this information,

 

create a method for doing so.

 

 

DLT 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 48 on page 169).
