Hi Jane

The new cleaning tape seems to have an incorrect barcode. Normally, you 
have 6 characters + the generation of LTO (in this case L1, though L1 
cleaning cartridges are used for all LTO generations). In your case, it's 
7 characters + L1.

A correct barcode label for a cleaning cart should be CLNxxxL1 where CLN 
should be the part of the barcode label telling the library that it's a 
cleaning cart and the xxx just about anything.

Regards

Daniel

We have ordered some cleaning cartridges, they are IBM tapes but from a
business partner, the labels were very shiny and the scanner on our
TS3500 refused to acknowledge them in the I/O slot and check them in.

I found an IBM technote about shiny labels and sent this to our
procurement people and they got the labels swapped to less shiny
backing.

However, I've received them through today and they still won't scan,
does anybody know the exact barcode format that the labels should be,
for example one is labelled CLNU030L1, IBM notes say 8 characters should
be ok.  Does the L1 classify in this?

However, our previous labels which were CLNU00L1 read ok? should the
first section of the barcode starting CLNU match on both tapes if the
same format is used? I'm wondering if they haven't used the correct
barcode format for the barcodes as they look different between these two
tapes at the beginning of the barcode label.


Any ideas? Has anyone come across this, I'd be grateful for any info.

Cheers,
Jane.
