Store and Identify Scratch Tapes

Contiguously store scratch tapes with similar characteristics, such as those belonging to the same scratch pool, both in the tape library and in the tape pool area. All members of the same pool should be identified in the same manner, such as by color, strap type, or tape length. You can use different label colors for identification but labels are not easily visible from the side of the tape. You can distinguish cartridge media from reel media.
