Each cartridge has an operator-attached, machine-readable barcode label
on it for identification purposes. The library can dynamically support
barcode labels with 1 to 14 characters plus a one-character or two-
character media identifier, depending on drive type (LTO or DLT). The
library currently supports Code 39 (3 of 9) type barcode labels. For more
