you can insert unlabeled tapes. I don't remeber the exact procedure, but
it is something like that: On the console under the topic "commands" (?)
there is an item for inserting unlabeled tapes. A window is presented tthere is 
an item for inserting unlabeled tapes. A window is presented to
you where you can specify the volume label and it's type ('J' or 'E'). Be
sure to place that information at the location corresponding to the cell
in the I/O station where you put the tape.
