HP C5141FL Dépliant

The super-fast scanning equipment 

installed in tape libraries relies on high 

resolution, computer-generated bar codes 

to ensure the readability of the labels 

each and every time. 

Simply put, if your automation device or vault bar 
code reader can’t read the label, it can’t find the tape. 
This could cause backup disruption or create delays 
when it comes to finding cartridges in your vault.

All HP bar code labels undergo extreme testing 
to ensure maximum reliability and performance. 
   

 

  Many factors, most not visible to 

   

 

         the naked eye, can affect the 

   

 

           quality and performance of   

   

 

 

a bar code label. We use 

   

 

              advanced software, unique 

   

 

             to HP’s Tape Automation

   

 

            R&D group, to test our bar    

   

 

         code labels, valuating their 

   

 

     performance in demanding,

   

 

       split-second automation

   

 

          environments. If they work

   

 

            perfectly in our laboratories, 

   

 

 

 they will work perfectly in 

   

 

 

   your tape library or 

   

 

 

     autoloader.

All HP Custom Labelled data cartridges can be ordered 
with a unique sequence for the bar code labels. As 
long as the sequence is allowed by the format, any 
sequence can be requested. For a comprehensive 
overview of labels and label formats, please refer to 
HP’s white paper on automation bar code labels at 
www.hptapemedia.com.

You may not see the difference between 
a precision engineered HP bar code label 
and one that your reseller prints on a 
desktop printer. But your tape library can!
