Applying a Label
Guidelines for applying the labels include:
■ Inspect and clean the cartridge. Wipe all dust, dirt, and moisture using a lint-free
cloth. Use a safe cleaning solution (such as isopropyl alcohol) to clean the cartridge
exterior housing.
■ Ensure the cartridge and label are oriented correctly. Orient the label with the
barcode below the human-readable characters and the cartridge with the hub-side
down. For LTO cartridges, hold the cartridge so that the write-protect switch is
toward you. For a T10000 cartridge, ensure the write-protect switch is away from
you. For a T9840 cartridge, ensure the write-protect switch is on the right side.
■ Apply the labels with in the recess on the cartridge as straight as possible. Ensure
the edges of the label are parallel to the edges of the cartridge. The label must not
overlap the edge of the recessed area.
■ For T9840 and T9940 labels, align the vol-id label and media ID label.
■ For best adhesion, apply the label within one year of purchase.
Caution: Mis-aligned, mis-oriented, or improperly-labeled cartridges
may cause equipment damage.
