RE: LTO barcode labels

Most vendors should be able to provide you with labels for pennies each.
AFAIK, some of the libraries will not work very well or at even at all
without barcoded tapes - it makes it MUCH more operator-intensive,
anyway. 

Contact me off-list for a barcode label provider.

Subject: LTO barcode labels


We're going to be buying a 3573 Ultrium3 library with our new 520+ box
and i'm seeing from the library's operations manual that it will have
even better capabilities if barcoded labels are used on the tapes.  I
found a spec guide for the labels from IBM, but i'm wondering what's
typical for labels on Ultrium2 and Ultrium3 media...

Is it easy to create your own barcoded labels according to your tape
labeling policies (our numbering would fit the spec quite well), or do
shops usually just buy prelabeled media?  I've never dealt with barcoded
tapes before...
