method
If you order media by using the 3599 tape media method, IBM Enterprise Tape

bulk-packaged data cartridges in a variety of combinations. You can also order
cleaning cartridges. See Table 51 for a list of data cartridges that can be ordered by
using the 3599 tape media method.

the cartridge types, and feature code combinations are used to specify the
quantities, labeling, and initialization options. Table 51 shows a few examples of
ordering options for each cartridge type. Note that additional feature codes are
required to completely specify all the characteristics that you want of the
cartridges. Orders may be placed by calling 1-800-IBM-CALL (1-800-426-2255).
