yes the tape drive has a barcode scanner. i tried the 'update slots' message
and i got the following error:
Automatically selected Storage: PV-122T
Connecting to Storage daemon PV-122T at localhost:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command.
Device "PV-122T" has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.
I get this error if there is a tape in the drive, or if they are all in
their slots.
