LTO Autoloader Barcode Reader
Using the Barcode Reader
The barcode reader is controlled through the host software. There is no user interaction, and the
Operator Panel does not indicate that a barcode reader has been added. When you next power
up the autoloader, the barcode reader is automatically enabled for scanning.
Barcode labels
The barcode reader can only operate if barcode labels are present on the tape cartridges. Make
sure that only labels complying with the appropriate barcode label specification are used (see
section below).
Removing the Barcode Reader
1. Power down the autoloader
2. Remove the SCSI cable(s) and power cable from the rear panel. Then disconnect the
power cable from the outlet.
3. Remove the screws that attach the barcode reader to the rear panel.
4. Unplug the barcode reader connector from the controller outlet.
5. Replace the cover plate on the rear panel.
