Are barcode labels a requirement, or is there an alternative ?

Apologies, for my bad description, I have been using the GUI version
of BAT to label the tapes, I know there is the "label" console
command, but apart from the console in BAT, I haven;t found how to get
into a CLI console. I'm also unsure as to the correct format to use
the comand when talking to the Superloader.
