Terry,

If such is the case and you are using barcodes, it's probably
one or more barcore cannot be correctly rode by the robotic BC reader.
Check with "sjirdtag <changer driver>" to get the list of barcode.

Sample : check the "inquire" output

sjirdtag [email protected] (works with rather all OS)
sjirgtag /dev/mcxx (Tru64 Unix V4.X)
sjirdtag /dev/changer/mcx (Tru64 Unix V5.X)

Good luck,

Thierry

Kind regards - Bien cordialement - Vriendelijke groeten,

Zaigui,

  It's possible your jukebox is also being re-inventoried
during the labeling process.  This happens to me
sometimes and it makes the labeling run a long time.
