I've got a guy here who's got a StorageTek library using Ultrium tapes.
He'd like to use the barcode program that I use for tape labels, but he
says the following.
 
He needs 8 characters and needs to have the L checksum marker at the end
of the label. EX:  ABCD1234L 
 
I've never heard that you "have to" use the checksum marker or have 8
characters.  I'd like to save them some cash.  Is the above true???
 
I have a ADIC Scalar 1000 with SDLT and I only use 6 characters and no
checksum marker.  I just use standard code39 barcoding with ABC123 style
labels.
 
Thoughts would be appreciated.
 
Thanks, 
Paul C.
