Ultrium bar code labels

Ultrium cartridges have a recessed area located on the face of the cartridge next to the write-protect switch. Use this area for attaching the adhesive-backed bar code label (see Figure 17). Do not apply labels onto the cartridge except in this designated area.

Caution: The bar code label should be applied as shown in Figure 20, page 53, with the alphanumeric portion facing the hub side of the cartridge. Never apply multiple labels onto a cartridge, because extra labels can cause the cartridge to jam inside a tape drive.
