Manual Removal of a Tape From the Picker
1 Position the picker to an easily accessible position. Refer to the procedure above.
2 Power off the library.
3 Open the front door and remove the two magazines.
4 If the tape cartridge is toward you, grasp it and remove it gently. However, if the tape cartridge is away
from you, gently push it into a rear slot with a long narrow object like a ruler.
Barcode Labels
Cartridges to be scanned must have an external 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 Scalar 24
currently supports Code 39 type barcode labels.
Three different types of barcode label modes are supported in the Scalar 24:
The barcode scanner reads and reports the information that it scans and displays this information on the
operator panel. The library reports the barcode information to the host according to the mode it is configured
for and displays alert messages on the operator panel LCD if the scanned barcode does not match the
barcode length and media identifier requirements of the mode.
For customers who wish to print the barcode labels, the individual media labels are supported if the labels
meet the ANSI MH10.8M-1983 standard and other additional requirements. The requirements are:
• ANSI MH10.8M–1983 Standard
• Number of digits: 5–16 (based on mode)
• Background reflection: at least 25%
• Print contrast: at least 75%
• Ratio: at least 2:2
• Module: 250 mm
• Print tolerance: ± 57 mm
Additional Requirements:
• Length of the rest zones: 5.25 mm ± 0.25 mm.
• No black marks can be present in the intermediate spaces or rest zones.
Note
If a cartridge is partially in the drive and partially in the picker, contact ATAC for
removal instructions.
Default: The scanner expects to read and report to the host six characters. If optional
one or two character media identifiers are present they are not reported.
Media ID: The scanner expects to read and report seven or eight characters (six plus the
media identifier) to the host.
Extended: The scanner reads and reports between 5 and 16 characters to the host.
Note
ADIC-supplied barcode labels are recommended.
