STK libraries only transmit the first 6 characters of the barcode. There
is no setting on the L700e to transmit more characters. Make sure the
serial number range for LTO1 and LTO2 cartridges is different as you will
need to distinguish the tapes by 6 digit serial number.

I don't know about STK libraries, but IBM LTO libraries have a parameter
that specifies whether the suffix "L1" or "L2" from the volume barcode
is read; in "normal" mode it isn't, and in "extended" mode it is.

I suspect your library has a similar setting.
