*An Ultrium 3 Tape Drive must have a minimum firmware level of 54xx for it to be
compatible with the WORM cartridge.
To determine the complete specifications of the bar code and the bar code label,
visit the web at http://www.ibm.com/ and enter "IBM LTO Ultrium Cartridge
Label Specification" in the search box, or contact your IBM Sales Representative.
When attaching a bar code label to a tape cartridge, place the label only in the
recessed label area (see
5
in Figure 6-1 on page 6-1). A label that extends outside
of the recessed area can cause loading problems in the drive.
Attention:
Do not place any type of mark on the white space at either end of the
bar code. A mark in this area may prevent the library from reading the label.
