We went through four Sun StorEdge L8s (they were abysmal) without a label leaving the label slot once. This way, the slight spring action of the label's cross-section will lock the label inside the DLT label slot nearly as well as a thick plastic label would. Don't fold it too hard, you want the label to be a ‘V’ shape. You fold it into two to increase the thickness of the paper.

This way, labels don't need to be adhesive. Depending on its thickness, it can be tricky to pull out. Once the label is inserted, it stays there. Tape labels are usually made of a durable, relatively thick material. DLT TapesĭLT tapes have a slot where the label goes. I've taken some care to ensure the output fits Letter sizes, which is why non-US people may notice we could fit an extra row of LTO labels. I don't have access to US Letter paper, so everything I do is for DIN A4 or similar sizes. Once you click the ‘download’ button, the label file will be generated and downloaded. If you have a single digit in the label, you'll only ever get a single page as all label types can fit more than ten labels per page.

Only DLT and LTO cartridges are supported because I made this for myself and they're the ones I've used. This tool generates sheets of barcode labels for DLT and LTO cartridges in tape libraries with barcode scanners. ![]()
