Hello everyone,

Before you update your firmware of your 3583 library read this:

Library code: V2_80_41.lif

There are two important issues here, one is the length of the barcode. When
you apply this firmware, the standard length is set to 6 characters. So a
label as 000001L1 will be seen as 000001

TSM will not like this as you check them in and sets them to private.

Here is what you need to do:

read these two pdf files

to set the barcode length to extended:

this one is for setting the autoclean function on so you get an extra slot
free in your library

There is nothing about this mentioned on the ftp server where you can
download the update tool and the firmware. Maybe a good tip for IBM to set
either a link or mention something in the readme file.

also: use a serial link if you do not have a rmu board installed, the
ntutil has a bug and will fail to work correctly.

good luck

Peter
