Attaching Bar Code Labels
Bar code labels allow the library to track data cartridges within the library.
To attach a bar code label to an AIT data cartridge:
1. Review About AIT Bar Code Labels on page 35, for bar code label requirements.
2. Attach the Spectra Logic approved bar code label to the cartridge.
• Make sure that the label is within the indented box with the numbers closest
to the top of the cartridge (the side with the clear plastic window).
• Make sure the edge of the label is parallel to the edge of the cartridge as
shown in Figure 4-4.
Using AIT Data Cartridges
AIT is the only tape to incorporate the unique Memory-In-Cassette (MIC) feature. A
memory chip built into the tape cartridge holds the tape’s entire data structure, history,
and other user-definable information read directly by the AIT drive. The MIC feature
reduces file access time and expedites the operation of the drive.
