Notes
• Do not mark the blank spaces on either side of the
barcode. The barcode may not be read properly if marks
exist.
• If the label or print is glossy, proper reading may not be
possible due to halation. For details on barcode labels
that can be read, contact your Sony service or sales
representative.
• If you want to use barcode labels with nine or more
characters, contact your Sony service or sales
representative.
• Attach barcode labels fully within the label area on the
cartridge so that the labels do not stick out, as shown in
the following diagram. Press the barcode label down
firmly so that it cannot peel off.
Label area
• If the label is not affixed fully within the depressed area,
problems may occur with the drive unit or unit during
loading.

Barcode label precautions
• Use only barcode labels that conform to Sony
specifications.
• Do not affix barcode labels in which Cartridge Memory
is embedded.
• Do not reuse labels or affix used labels on top of existing
labels.
• Remove an old label before affixing a new one. When
removing a label, peel off slowly with the label
perpendicular to the attachment surface.
• Affix a new label that will not leave behind adhesive
material when removed (i.e., a label that can be cleanly
removed). If adhesive material remains on the cartridge,
gently rub it off with your finger.
• When cleaning the label area, do not use sharp objects,
water, or chemical cleaners.
• Check the state of labels before affixing them. If there
are defects in the printed characters or barcode, the
barcode may not be read properly, resulting in longer
barcode processing times.
• When peeling labels from a label sheet, be careful not to
stretch the label or cause its edges to curl.
• Be sure to affix labels flat on the cartridge without any
wrinkles or air pockets.
• Be sure to affix labels fully to prevent peeling and
curling.
