This is a fact. STK uses a different type of barcode than ATL, and others.
You will have to make sure you get barcodes that work for the STK. In a
disaster recovery secanrio, you might have to manually specify what tapes
are in each slot through the media manager (if you don't have readable
barcodes).

We had problems of using barcodes on STK L700, which perfectly
were running on ATL robots. Sometimes STK failed to read the
barcodes.
I think the problem is STK uses digital camera intead of barcode
reader as ATL does.
