 TapeTrack does not enforce what type of Barcodes you can use on your tape stock.  As long as you have a Barcode reader that can read the Barcodes and transmit that data to TapeTrack you can utilise any available Barcode format.

 ===== Barcode Rules =====
-  - The Barcode value for each Volume-ID must be unique within a [[object:customer|Customer]]/[[object:media|Media Type]] scope at a minimum.  If TapeTrack is set to disallow duplicate Barcodes at a Customer or Global level the Barcode value must be unique at that scope.
+  - The Barcode value for each [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] must be unique within a [[object:customer|Customer]]/[[object:media|Media Type]] scope at a minimum.  If TapeTrack is set to disallow duplicate Barcodes at a [[object:customer|Customer]] or Global level the Barcode value must be unique at that scope.
   - The Barcode value must be between 2 and 10 characters long.
   - Must only contain Alpha [A-Z] and Numeric characters [0-9] but can contain a dash as long as the dash is not the first character.
   - Can not contain a space or any special character other than a dash.
   - Must only use upper case characters.
-  - Must comply with the Volume-ID filter specified in the [[object:media|Media Type]] object.
+  - Must comply with the [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] filter specified in the [[object:media|Media Type]] object.
