Applying Labels
■ Applying Labels
Cartridge labels reflect the cartridge media and usage. The types of cartridge labels you
might need to apply are:
•Customer
•VOLSER
• Cleaning
•Diagnostic
• Media labels
Notes:
• Make sure that the labels are not placed elsewhere on the cartridge surface.
• Make sure that the edges of the labels do not curl up.
• Use labels that do not leave a residue when removed.
• Make sure that the label contains a VOLSER.
The following information describes how to apply labels to the cartridges.
CAUTION:
Potential equipment problems: Applying labels in the wrong location,
curling edges, or leaving excess residue could cause the cartridge to
stick in the hand, drive, or cell.
Non-DLT Cartridges
The labels must be within the indented area of the cartridge so that the edges of the label
are parallel to the edges of the cartridge. The label should be close to the inside edge of
the indented area but must never overlap.
See Figure A-6 through Figure A-11 for the proper location of the labels.
To apply the labels:
1. Make sure that the cartridge has been at room temperature for at least 24 hours.
2. Clean the surface where the labels will be placed using a cleaning solution made for
this purpose. See “Cleaning the Cartridge Exterior” on page A-5.
3. Peel the backing from the VOLSER label.
4. Hold the cartridge so that the leader block is above the write-protect selector and is
facing away from you.
5. Position the label with the VOLSER characters to the left, so you can read them
from top to bottom. Press the label into place.
6. If the cartridge requires a media label, peel the backing from it and place the label in
the recessed area to the left of the VOLSER. Press into place.
