Also, in the setup section of your 3583, you must tell it to use
'extended' or 'enhanced' label or barcode checking.  Sorry I don't
remember where or exactly what, but I do remember we had to set that on
our 3583.

We set ours up 'wrong' after an upgrade, and had to change it and
re-inventory our library afterward to get TSM to recognize the tapes
'correctly'.

Just remember if you change this you will have to re-label all your TSM
tapes. This setting effects the barcode reported to TSM...and that's
what
TSM uses to label the tapes. If you change this setting any/all existing
TSM
tapes will be unavailable to you unless you change your checkin to
CHECKL=YES. This will cause TSM to ignore the barcode and read the
internal
label.

Assuming that this is an IBM 3583 library (please, please send details
when describing a problem):

There is a setting on the library front panel to set the tape volume
display mode to NORMAL (no L1 or L2 tags) or EXTENDED. I can't remember
where it is; you're best off digging up your manual and reading it.
