Barcode tag

A unique string of characters from the barcode that identifies the type of media.

For example, use DLT as the barcode tag for a barcode rule if the following is true:

Similarly, if you use CLND for DLT cleaning media, use CLND as the barcode tag for the rule for DLT cleaning media.

The barcode tag can have from 1 to 16 characters but cannot contain spaces.

The following are the special barcode rules that can match special characters in the barcode tags:

NONE	Matches when rules are used and the volume has an unreadable barcode or the robot does not support bar codes.
DEFAULT	For volumes with bar codes, this tag matches when none of the other barcode tags match. However, the following must be compatible: the media type in the DEFAULT rule and the media type on the Media Settings tab.

You cannot change the barcode tag of a barcode rule. Instead, first delete the old rule, then add a rule with a new barcode tag.

Use the Media Settings tab to set up the criteria for a robot update.
