Overview

The HP Q2013A Ultrium 6 RW Bar Code Label Pack is a set of 110 pre-printed bar code labels engineered for use with LTO-6 Ultrium read/write tape cartridges. In any automated tape library or autoloader environment, bar code labels are essential for the system to identify, catalog, and manage individual cartridges without manual intervention. These HP-branded labels are designed to meet the scanning and adhesion standards required by HP and compatible tape library hardware, reducing the risk of misreads or label failures that can disrupt backup operations.

Each label in the pack carries a unique bar code sequence that the tape library reads to track cartridge location, usage history, and media status. The RW designation confirms these labels are intended for rewritable LTO-6 media, distinguishing them from WORM (Write Once Read Many) labels which use a different color coding and identifier scheme. For organizations running LTO-6 tape infrastructure, this pack is a routine but necessary consumable that keeps automated backup and archival workflows running smoothly. The 110-label count is well suited for environments with moderate to large tape inventories or for stocking spare labels to apply as new cartridges are added to rotation.

The Q2013A pack includes 110 bar code labels designed specifically for LTO-6 Ultrium tape cartridges.

Are these labels compatible with tape generations other than LTO-6?

No, these labels are specifically designed for LTO-6 Ultrium cartridges. Using them on a different generation may cause compatibility or identification errors in tape library systems.

What is the purpose of bar code labels on tape cartridges?
