Hello,
When Inventory is done, it will read the tape labels. When Scan is used, it will read the bar code lables.
If your tape drive has barcodes, then perform Initialize and Scan operation.
For tapes without barcodes, perform Inventory and Catalog operation.
Hope this answers your question.
Regards
