Why choose HP Custom  

Labelled cartridges? 

  Extra peace of mind costs you no more. Custom Labelled 

media cost exactly the same as standard cartridges.

  5 FREE cleaning cartridge labels with every box  

of 20 HP Custom Labelled data cartridges.

  Buy everything you need from one supplier. Media 

and labels no longer need to be purchased from 

different suppliers.

  No margin for error. Transparent polyboxes make it 

easy to scan cartridges without first removing them 

from the polybox.

  The right tape, instantly, every time. Precisely 

engineered, precisely aligned. Custom Labelled 

media make certain your library can interpret 

barcodes accurately, every time.

  Fast, simple and accurate. IT staff don’t have to spend 

hours peeling, sticking and attaching bar code labels  

to individual data cartridges. If an 800-slot tape library 

takes up to six hours to label by hand, imagine how 

much time and money you could save.

Fully customised label sequences  

for your libraries.

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. Below is a guide to explain the key 

points of bar code label formats. For a comprehensive 

listing, please refer to HP’s white paper on automation 

bar code labels at www.hptapemedia.com
Bar code labels for HP tape media use the Code 39 

(sometimes referred to as Code 3-of-9) symbology,  

a widely used industrial standard.
The space character after DG is required for  

diagnostic cartridges.

must be of the form CLNvnnCU. Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3 and Gen 4 LTO products use the same cleaning cartridge. No diagnostic cartridges currently exist for LTO. 

n  = any alpha or numeric character (capital letter A through Z and numbers 0 through 9), except characters specifically reserved for other purposes such as CLN (cleaning) and DG (diagnostic).  

Any combination of unreserved characters can be used to identify the cartridges.
