Appendix A Using 9840 Cartridge Bar Code Labels Make it a practice to use bar code labels on your tape cartridges. Your host software may need to keep track of the following information and the associated bar code: I Date of format or initialization I Cartridge owner (such as group or department) I Storage purpose Note If the host software does not keep track of this information, create a method for doing so. To ensure successful operation of your tape library, place the bar code label entirely within the designated area, ensuring that no part of the label is outside of the designated area. Cartridge labels reflect the cartridge media and usage. The letter located next to the last number in the volume label reflects the media. Cleaning cartridges have "CLN" in the volume label, diagnostic cartridges have "DG" in the volume label. Note You can order additional bar code labels if needed. For bar code ordering information, see Ordering Tape Cartridges on page 193 as well as the information that came with your tape library. Using 9840 Cleaning Cartridges 9840 drives should only be cleaned if CLEAN NEEDED displays on the tape library status screen. Only use the 9840 cleaning cartridge in your 9840 tape drive. When the tape library status screen display EXPIRED, discard the cleaning cartridge and replace it with a new one. For more information, refer to the documentation that came with your 9840 cleaning cartridge. Appendix A 9840 Drives and Tape Cartridges 181
