I have also seen this from time to time, and a good rub of the sticker on
the leg usually does the trick :-)

Hi, David -
We've seen the same thing here, with J tapes coming back from offsite:
insert a bunch, have one or two rejected with that media complaint.
Reinsert (one at a time), and the library then accepts the tape.
It may be that the laser/receptor is having trouble reading the 'J'
stickerette, where rubbing one's finger over it before inserting may
remove some residue which is imperceptible to us.
