Barcode Requirements
Cartridges must have an external barcode label that is machine-readable
to identify the volume serial number. A barcode must use only uppercase
letters A to Z and/or numeric values 0 to 9. The library supports Code 39
(3 of 9) type barcode labels.
For LTO media barcodes, the library dynamically supports 1 to 14
characters for volume
serial number plus a two-character media type
identifier. See the image below for an example of a supported LTO
barcode label.
