We also have a Quantum SuperLoader 3 (with DLT-S4; I've written about some
of my questions on this list) and I've also used these systems in the past.
Although it's new enough that I haven't really gotten into Bacula labeling,
I can tell you that the hardware/firmware apparently doesn't have an issue
recognizing more than 6 byte labels. I think I got 12 bytes on a label, but
I haven't figured out what our naming convention is going to be yet.
(We use the Brother P-Touch 9500PC, which I've used successfully in the
past) to create CODE39 labels. All indications at this point are that these
are processed properly by the reader in the SuperLoader; they are visible to
MTX and I presume to Bacula).
I'm happy to share templates for this or otherwise help if you want; contact
me off-list.
