 ===== Scanning Volumes To Slots Using Zone, Slot and Volume Barcodes =====
-This method relies on both the zones and slots being barcoded (further information on printing barcodes can be found [[checkpoint:print_barcodes|here]]).  Slotting on the repository also need to be disabled if you have the slotting allocation script being run by the scheduler or volumes will be automatically allocated a slot based on the slotting mode of that repository.
