When I started using barcode labels I erased all tapes
(with mt commands) and the wrote new bacula labes on them
using "label barcode". also removed the old tapes from the
catalog (or changed them to not recycle).
if you want a mixed setup you can keep using "update slots scan",
once the barcodes
Bacula will use the barcode labels as the label for the tape.
The label of the tape and the barcode must match, or it will not work,

all the tapes to match the barcodes...
Once it is working though, it is a breeze to swap tapes
