Notes:

You can lookup a cartridge location either in the internal library firmware format or the HLI-PRC format based on the library management software (see “Internal Address” on page 110 and “HLI-PRC Address” on page 122 ).

If the library is in a complex, make sure you enter the correct library number (for the internal firmware address search) or the LSM number (for the HLI-PRC address search). For more information see “PTP Addressing Scheme” on page 34.
