Initialize Element Status CDB Format
The INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS CDB format is shown in the following table.
No Barcode Labels (NBL) – A value of 0 indicates that the specified elements will be checked for all
relevant status, including bar code labels. A value of 1 indicates that elements will be checked for media
presence only (no bar code labels).
Note: Tape libraries that have barcode labels scanners/readers installed will always establish barcode label
element status, regardless of the NBL bit setting.
