All I can tell you is what happens when I don't use pre-printed labels.
Change tapes update slots, label barcodes a random tape is not recognized do no tape change, take out magazine, reinsert tape in magazine
update slots tape recognized
This only happened with home made labels. Maybe I should run another month to make sure, but this is what I see.

I would doubt that. The barcode reader should only be used when you
add or remove tapes or at least that is what my barcode reader does.
After you change tapes the library scans the added tapes (or the whole
magazine) and remembers this and does not scan again unless you power
cycle the unit or change tapes or magazines again.
