NOTE For data cartridge messages, ‘n’ represents the volume serial number (or

example, the HP Ultrium media ID for first generation data cartridges is

‘L1”.

For cleaning cartridge messages, ‘CLN’ denotes that it is a cleaning

cartridge, ‘H’ represents Hewlett-Packard as the drive manufacturer, ‘n’

is the volume serial number, and ‘XY’ represents the media ID (as stated
