Re: Library does not perform barcode check during audit

As you are aware, your 3575 goes through "initialize element status" when
the door is opened or it is powered on. This means that the library does a
self audit and holds the info regarding which volsers relate to which
elements (slots). When you do a checklabel=barcode during your audit, the
info is stored on a chip in the library and TSM reads this. There is no
flapping around of the robot at that time.

Hi All,

Why when I perform the following:

audit library LIBRARYNAME checklabel=barcode, it does not appear to do an
actual scan using the barcode
reader at all. The only way I can get a true audit is to omit the
checklabel, which forces tape mounts, which
takes a long time to complete the audit as you'd imagine as it reads off
each tape label. This occurs on both
libraries.

Command:

audit library LIBRARYNAME checklabel=barcode

Why is this so?
