Thanks! But I was looking for information on what amanda uses the
barcode reader in the robot for, and how to make the tapechanger
scripts do it -- not on how to print labels.
As you label tapes, amanda will populate a file named
$CONFIG
To get your barcode reader working, install mtx.
Hmm, and use which changer script? chg-zd-mtx? I've got barcodes set
up and mtx seems to find them:

That's what I use, and it works fine. Just follow the instructions
inside the changer.conf file to get it working.

I've got a Dell PV132T changer I'm trying to get working and I'm
looking for the stuff that used to be on the faq-o-matic about barcode
readers. The FOM seems to be toast. Anybody know where I can find
