LTO Cartridges 2
LTO tape cartridges are different in size to the SDLT cartridges as well as
in the barcode labeling and write-protect switch setting (see figure
12).
Note: Quantum highly re
commends using barcode labels provided
by Quantum. Also, use the appropriate barcode labels for your
drive type. Do not use older barcode labels on tape cartridges
for newer drive types.
