LTO 3 Barcode Template for Excel or anything else.

[MrRalphMan]

Guys,

With my geek hat well and truly on, I need to print off some tape labels for LTO3 tapes, including the bar code.

We have a template for the DLT's we have, but not for the LTO's.

Anyone have something I could use?

Stop scrimping and get some proper ones printed!

I have some spare though that came with my library if that helps - don't know if you need a few or a load of custom ones though.

We normally have them printed when they come in, but much like this place we've almost run our of them. (I do not do the purchasing ordering!!!).

I've been asked to see if we can print some off....

I'm sure just a standard barcode with LTOXXXL3 or what have you would do the trick - most libraries I have dealt with don't really care about the coloured numbers etc. Worth a try anyway?

What sort of label range you want?

Some are really sensitive about trioptic colours/labels.

And trust me sometimes when you're hunting in a library with 15,000+ tapes you want to be able to scan things visually very easily!!

Cheers, we've tried with the DLT template that we use, obviously changing the D for an L3, but no joy.
At the moment our storage team has freed up some tapes so we're not stuck, but it would be nice to print some out.

Cheers though.

Alas tried but we have no template. I believe the barcode spacing is different to LTO/DLT. Colour codes don't matter, as that's just for human identification. Gripper is what's important here.

Googled but can't really find any, you may have to just fork out for some labels. Would've thought buying some you'd at least have labels in the box.
