HP MSL6000 manual Ultrium Labels, Attaching a bar code label to an Ultrium tape cartridge

CAUTION: The misuse and misunderstanding of bar code technology can result in backup and restore failures. To ensure that your bar codes meet HP’s quality standards, always purchase them from an approved supplier and never print bar code labels yourself. For more information, refer to the order form provided with the library, as well as the Bar Code Label Requirements, Compatibility and Usage white paper available from http://www.hp.com/support.

Ultrium Labels

Ultrium tape 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 62). Do not apply labels onto the cartridge except in this designated area.

CAUTION: The bar code label should be applied as shown in Figure 62 with the alphanumeric portion facing the hub side of the tape cartridge. Never apply multiple labels onto a cartridge, as extra labels can cause the cartridge to jam in a tape drive.
