VCatridge Label/Prefix

Type a custom prefix for the cartridge labels. (Alphabets a-z, A-Z and numbers 0-9 are accepted for a label/prefix.)

• If the number of cartridges is greater than one, then the label will be of the following format:

  LTO000

  For example, if the number of cartridges is 2, then the labels for the newly created cartridges will be LTO000L6 and LTO001L6. If WORM is selected, then the labels for the newly created cartridges for our example will be LTO000LU and LTO0001LU.

• If the number of cartridges is one, then the label can be a maximum of 32 characters.

• Alphabets a-z, A-Z and numbers 0-9 are accepted as label/prefix.

  For example, if the number of cartridges is 4, then the labels for the newly created cartridges will be LTO000L6, LTO001L6, LTO002L6 and LTO003L6. If WORM is selected, then the labels for the newly created cartridges for our example will be LTO000LU, LTO0001LU, LTO002L6U, and LTO003L6U.
