Re: Qualstar TLS-4480 barcode reader

Hi there,

I just got a new Overland Data Neo2000 LTO-2 30-tape library. I foundyour post on creating barcode labels for tapes.

Does is matter what data the barcode contains. For example, can Icreate a barcode that reads "DailySet1-01" through "DailySet1-30"


  Do you know if the Avery L7656 labels will work with LTO2 tapes?

Sincerely,
Jason Edgecombe

What are you using to print your labels? About a year ago
I looked for
anything that would create labels for me, but never could
find any software
that would work with my TLS.
Since this might be useful to others, I'm answering to the list (after
removing the name of the questioner, that asked of list).
I'm using gnu-barcode(http://www.gnu.org/software/barcode/barcode.h> tml)printingto Avery L7656 labels with the commandline:
barcode -ucm -pa4 -iinfile.txt -ooutfile.ps -e code39 -t4x21+0.6+1.5 \
-m.5x.1
where infile.txt contains the text of the labels I want and output.ps
is a postscript file.

Home this helps.
