We've finally gotten around to changing our offsite tape storage vendor, 
and the barcodes that the new vendor uses will be readable by the barcode 
reader in my library (previously, we had to use a customized barcode that 
was not readable by the barcode reader in the library). Now, I'd like to 
have new tapes be labeled with the value on the barcode, and I want it to 
be automatic (I don't want to have to type in anything, if possible). It's 
been so long since the barcode was readable to me, that I am unclear on 
how to accomplish what I want.

Obviously, I know how to manually label tapes (I used to have to type in 
the numbers that were on the barcode). But how do I tell Networker to read 
the barcode label, and then label the tape? Without setting the "Match 
barcode labels" option in my library?

(I don't want to set it, because I have all the old tapes that have 
barcodes unreadable to the library, but are correctly labeled by 
Networker)

Or am I misunderstanding what I need to do?
