This might be a stupid question but do you have the 8.6 tape library option
purchased and installed. BE needs that option in order to use the barcode
reader.

How long are your tape names - The DLT89x can only read 8 character barcode
labels - found this out the hard way probably like you are experiencing -
nobody at Compaq (HP?) I have spoken to knows of a fix - probably to do with
memory restrictions (Must be an old DOS hangover I reckon!@#$)

There might be a length problem or format problem.I got the same problem
with my DELL 130T (Storagetek).It's must be specific format for any brand
like my storagetek use XXXXXXd format (7 chars and must be 3 of 9 standard
barcode format).
