Preparing Cartridges
4-4
Applying 9840 Cartridge Labels
Cartridge labels reflect the cartridge media and usage. Cleaning cartridges have
DG CLN in the VOLSER and a “U” beneath the VOLSER. Diagnostic cartridges
have DG 000 in the VOLSER and an “R” beneath the VOLSER.
Refer to Figure 4-4 and insert the label into the recessed area provided on each
cartridge.
1. Make sure that the cartridge has been at room temperature for at least 24
hours.
2. Clean the surface where the labels will be placed using a cleaning solution
made for this purpose. Refer to “Cleaning the Cartridge Exterior” for
additional information.
3. Locate the label that you require and refer to Figure 4-4.
Refer to Figure 4-4 and slide the label under the slots in the recessed area. If
you want, peel the backing from the label and then slide it under the slots,
pressing it into place.
Notes:
1. Make sure that the labels are not placed elsewhere on the cartridge surface.
2. Make sure that the edges of the labels do not curl up; curling causes the
cartridge to stick in the drive loader.
