Cleaning cassettes do not need a barcode label. They are stored in defined com-
partments of the archive.

number of cleaning cycles (e. g. 500) the host computer automatically sends a
command to eject them ( documentation of interface software).
Cleaning cassettes receive a symbolic volser in the archive catalog.
The symbolic volser is “*CL....”. It can be attached to the cassette on a barcode
label. This will simplify the replacement of cleaning cassettes. A cleaning cassette
