barcode readers and am-labels
2003-08-20 14:48:55
Hi all --
I have a barcode reader with my tape robot. I've tested the robot
and got it playing nicely with amanda; nut I haven't yet told her that
it can do barcodes.
In what fashion does amanda make use of the bar codes, assuming
I tell her that I have a reader (havereader = 1)?
Does amanda use them while finding tapes, or just report them to me
for my visual usage?
Does the barcode label need to match the amlabel string?
(it is kind of long for barcoding....)
Or is the barcode just *associated* with the amlabel
(in the mentioned barcode database)?
i.e. is UX0001 associated with MyTapeStringDaily-034
by the barcode database
or does it have to actually *say* MyTapeStringDaily-034
on the barcode?
