Quantum media cartridges are manufactured to the highest industry standards for 
quality and reliability, ensuring low error rates, high performance and long-term 
durability. To expand our support, pre-labeling of select Quantum brand DLTtape

®

 

and LTO Ultrium cartridges is available for use in Quantum automation products.

Bar code labels provide both human and machine-readable identifiers. The human 
readable portion allows cartridges to be easily retrieved from external storage like a 
shelf, vault, and etc. Machine readable identifiers enable the tape library system to 
correctly manage media cartridges. 

With the importance of data in today’s computing environment, failing to properly 
read a cartridge label carries significant consequences. The importance of using high 
quality labels cannot be overstated. As a result, Quantum uses Tri-Optic

®

 labels as they 

offer the most complete range of media labeling options along with a proven record 
of quality and reliability. 

Pre-labeling is a value added service where Quantum affixes bar code labels on media and 
cleaning cartridges per your requirements—saving the time and hassle of doing it yourself. 
To help us customize your label, we will need the following information from you:

• Type of Quantum Automation System: In case we need to recommend a label.
• Type of Media/Cleaning Cartridge: Tell us how many Quantum brand DLTtape and 

LTO Ultrium media and cleaning cartridges you need. Refer to the back page for 
a list of products and label descriptions.

• Custom Sequence: The label sequence is a consecutive series of unique alpha/

numeric (A-Z, 0-9) characters. The intent is to provide the tape automation system 
a cartridge with a unique serial number. You will be asked for the start and end 
numbers of your sequence.

• Background Color: For visual tracking purposes on media cartridges, you can 

designate a background color for each of the first six character spaces. In general, 
background colors are intended to help in human readability. The colors are chosen 
from the Vibrant Tri-Optic color palette. Note, cleaning cartridges do not have a 
background color and print black and white.

• Availability: The Quantum pre-labeling service is available in the Americas and Europe.

Quantum is your one stop for automation, drives and media—pre-labeled media is 
part of the complete solution.
