For the poor or thrifty (or .edu):
there is a GNU barcode program. I have used it for makign barcodes for our
HP 15tape/2drive changer and our HP 9/1 DLT8000 library when we had it. I
had to cut out the labels by hand with scissors but they were pennies to
make. I also printed out barcodes for SDLT tapes in our L180 StorageTek
library. They work, but they need to be resized with the options to be a
little bigger. They are a tad small and sometimes unreliable to read in the
L180.
the txt file is the input file, one text label entry per line, the
.ps file is the output.
###For HP 9/1
# NEW #
barcode -u cm -c -e code39 -i aaxxxx.txt -o AAxxxx.ps -g 4x1.5 -t 2x6+2+2 -m
1.2x0.9
###For HP 15tape changer
# NEW #
barcode -u cm -i axxxxx.txt -o Axxxxx.ps -g 4x1.5 -t 2x6+2+2 -m 1.2x0.9
# the storagetek libraries use trioptic code39 encoding for barcodes
# this can be achieved by using code39 starting with ]X0xxxxxx where x
# is the desired label (needs tweaked)
barcode -u cm -c -e code39 -i codes.txt -o codes.ps -g 4x1.5 -t 2x6+2+2 -m
2.0x1.0

I order the dlt card stock from Netc (www.netcllc.com) and print using
Strandware label matrix software. Netc has software available, as well,
but I had originally bought a zebra printer to use.
Our Compaq tl895 would not read the zebra labels because they were too
glossy. An HP deskjet works great!
Thanks,
Melinda

Is anyone Printing Barcode labels for DLT IV inhouse?
If so can you send me some info. The guys who order
have ordered duplicate numbers so I am in a crunch to get
some new lables quickly and would rather do in it house anyways.
