Appendix A

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 (

 on page 169).
