In the TS2900 the slot is labeled as a Cleaning Slot, however the TS2900
does not seem to hide the slot from mt or mtx. I will double check the

I do have the Cleaning prefix set in the Pool definition, but that does
not seem to make a difference when doing the command. I did not know
about the label barcodes, thank you very much for that!
