I recommend setting the field length to 6 while keeping the last two characters
printed on the barcode.
The last two characters may be (and usually is) used by the library to
enforce/assure media and drive compatibility.
By limiting your barcoded to 6 characters you will keep seeing what you are
used to (today), avoiding the requirement that all your tape labels (and
barcode) will end with the same character (be it D, S, L1, L2) that will be
required by the library.

Hi,
the 7th and 8 th character describes the type of the media.
The 7th character describes media format like L for LTO or D DLT and S for
SDLT. The 8th character describes the version of media format like L1 for LTO
100 gb native and L2 for LTo 200 gb native. For avoiding further handling
problems with legato you have do decide what you want to use, long or short
format. But some libaries have no possibility to change format, normaly they
deliver only the short format. So i would suggest that you use only the short
format for all your jukeboxes.

Betreff: [Networker] Barcode Labels ( 6charactors-- 8charactors ?)
Hello Legato Gurus,
We had purchased L20 (DLT7000), L40(LTO Drive ) with 6 charactor Barcode labels
. Two days before we had a problem on one of the Jukebox and Support guys
replaced the Hardware . Then we notice that our volumes are named as 7
charactors , a Capital D is appearing for every label .
We purchased 6 charator Barcode labels and for last charactor a small "D"
letter is appearing which is NOW recognized by Jukebox bar code reader. After
doing some analysis we found hat there is a setting in L20 where you can
define charactor lengh of barcode labels , which is set to 8 when hardware was
replaced by support .
Now obviously we are happy to have 8 charactor barcode labels , but problem is
Old volumes are 6 charactor names , if we change L20 jukebox setting to
8 charactor then those old labels are identified as X X X 001D instead
of X X X 001.
As Match volmes with barcode is set to true, do we will have problems in
restoring ? I still want to go for 8 charactor Barcode labels anyway , how do I
get around with this problem .
Has anybody faced this problem ?
best regards,
- Rahul
