Quantum P4000 and P7000 Libraries User’s Guide 27
The mixed media gripper includes a Class II laser bar code scanner that
reads standard six-character (7 characters for SDLT and 8 characters for
LTO), 3 of 9 bar code labels. The scanner is used to maintain an inventory
of the tape cartridges within the library. An inventory occurs
automatically whenever the library is turned on or after the bulk load
door has been closed. An inventory can also be initiated from the host
computer.
Although the library does not require tape cartridges to have bar code
labels, properly labeled tape cartridges and full storage bins speed up the
inventory process.
Tape Drives 1 The P4000 can hold up to 10 tape drives and the P7000 can hold up to 16
tape drives, including combinations of DLT and SDLT, or DLT and LTO.
