Create LTO Barcode Labels

This post is more for my own memory than yours. A while back I needed to reuse some LTO cleaning cartridges. However the IBM Tape Library we use needed LTO bar codes on the tapes and they didn't have any.  I priced the labels and found the it way overpriced for simple barcodes. Rather than spending the money I followed the post here on how to create the needed LTO bar codes.

The reason I'm posting this is because it happened again with new cleaning cartridges that got ordered with out labels and I had to find out to print them again.  I did find a few products that would create the labels  and print them however they weren't free and I only needed about 10 labels.

Site what we followed: http://rogierg.blogspot.com - 80 bucks for LTO barcodes? WTF?

After you generate the barcode, right click the image and "Save image as" and save the jpeg. Print the label and carefully tape it to the LTO Cartridge. Be careful that there is no way the barcode can come free or hang in anyway.

  1. I would recommend using Netc for all labels. Missing tapes can cost way more then a few dollars for tapes. https://www.labelarchitect.com/c-3-lto-ultrium-barcode-labels.aspx
