Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 3
Robotic System and
Barcode Scanner
The robotic system identifies and moves the cartridges between the
storage slots, tape drives, and the I/E station. The robotic arm (picker)
has picker fingers that enable it to grab tape cartridges and move them
into and out of slots and tape drives.

scanner automatically identifies the slots and cartridges in the library, if
the cartridges are fitted with acceptable barcode labels.

that the barcode scanner reads during the inventory process. During the
inventory process, the barcode scanner reads the barcode labels on the
tape cartridges and empty slots to identify the types of tape cartridges
that are installed in the library.

identifies the cartridge. The library stores the physical location of the
tape cartridge in an inventory database. All library or host requests
typically reference the location of the tape cartridges based on this
