| Another option is to just
print your own barcode labels. I use GNU barcode to generate the labels, as described here: http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/36086-creating-your-own-lto-labels It says "LTO" but I'm 99% sure that DLT uses the same labeling. I ended up with the following command. The command is all one line, but i've commented each line here: barcode -i LABELNAMEFILE -o POSTSCRIPTOUTPUTFILE.PS # encoding #39 is a barcode standard -e 39 # inches -u in # geometry width x height +/- xmargin +/- ymargin (size of each label) -g 2.5x0.625 # table geometry columns x lines + leftmargin + bottommargin -rightmargin -topmargin -t 1x15+.25+0.5-4.35-0.5 # margin between cells in the table -m .1 # page size -p 8x11 # no checksum character, for codes which allow it (such as #39) -c The list of label text needs to be the LABELNAMEFILE, just one per line like this: 000001L4 000002L4 ...etc The label size i chose is a bit too small. 2.75x0.625 or maybe even 3x0.625 would be better. Looks like the original link used 3x0.625. I know I made it smaller on purpose, so experiment with plain paper and check the size before you print a bunch of labels. It doesn't like blank lines in the LABELNAME file. I print on full-sheet sticky labels and cut them up. The link above shows a particular label that works, but i was in a hurry and this is what I had.
