Preparing Cartridges for Use

The MiniLibrary system comes with one DLT tape cartridge and one cleaning

cartridge.

IMPORTANT:

The MiniLibrary system accepts only CompacTape III, CompacTape IIIXT,

and CompacTape IV cartridges. For best performance, use CompacTape IV cartridges in

the MiniLibrary system. Do not use CompacTape I or CompacTape II cartridges.

NOTE:

To order additional tape cartridges, contact you Compaq authorized dealer or

reseller.

Applying Bar Code Labels

Before placing a cartridge in the MiniLibrary system, you must apply a bar

code label that uniquely identifies it to the MiniLibrary system. When

applying the bar code label:

Use only the labels provided with the MiniLibrary system.

Apply cleaning cartridge labels only to cleaning cartridges; apply data

labels only to data cartridges.

Apply the label 1 to the front face of the cartridge as shown in Figure

F-3.
