Not sure if that's a good idea. AFAIK IBM labels are limited to six
characters, and your barcode labels are eight characters long, so
they won't fit. Any reason why you don't want to use standard Bacula
labels?

Not necessarily. Step 1 is only necessary for erasing an existing
label from the tape, so if it was never written to you can skip
that step and proceed directly to "label barcodes".

OTOH, if the tape was written previously then step 1 will erase
it, so if you want to keep its current content you should do
neither step 1 nor step 2, but add it with "add volume" or
"bscan" instead.
