Nevermind....


Incase anyone is wondering. You can use any 3 of 9 barcode font. As long as you put a L1 or L2 or L3 tag on the end of each barcode to differentiate between LTO 1,2,or 3.

Mark,

Just curious, but why would you buy a brand new I2K and make your own bar codes, this is a very strange idea, but plausable. If it was me I would buy stickers.

126K tape libray.
1$ for glue
free 8 x 11 paper from the copy machine
free scissors from your desk.

The fun youll have making Barcodes for your 125K Library = Priceless!

I buy my tapes with the labels already on them and I get them for the same cost.

Ahh but buying a 100 sheets of 30 each give you consecitive numbers, this will allow you to be free from the vendor who may give you consecutive numbers.

Normally you can specify to the vendor what you want the labels to be.
We get all of ours pre-labeled too and they're all sequential =)

haha...

Well, its more of an inheritance thing.

We have a lot of unlabled tapes that need to be used. It is a lot of fun puting labels on hundreds of tapes. This is one thing that I hope to change.

Its one of those "this is what we have done forever, why change?" things.

Out of curiousity.....who do you buy your tapes from?

This question is for everyone. Im curious what other people are getting LTO3 tapes for, labeled or not.

I don't actually do the tape ordering for my company =(
I just ask the Operations people to order more and they take care of it ...

I do not know if it is ok to post stuff like this without getting a finger wacked with a keyboard but since you aked and I am not affiliated with these folks at all. If I was to go to another company and had any influence I would probably goes with these folks again.
I use ADSI smaill company they will ship anywhere, they move a ton of tape, good prices.
My tapes come sequential. I used to label them then one time when actually calling about an order instead of emailing I asked about the cost of labels. The sales rep pauses then asks why I do not just order the tapes with the labels on them.....
If you want more info you can send an email and I can get in contact info.

I guess you're right....

I shouldn't have asked that question. Maybe I should ask what people pay per 20 LTO3 tapes, labeled or not?
