-===== Why Label The Gemtracs ===== 
  
 Labelling the Gemtrac racks in the following manner allows the configuration of TapeTrack allowing operators to quickly locate a [[concepts:slot|Sloted]] [[object:volume|Volume]], or locate a specified [[concepts:slot|Slot]] to place a [[object:volume|Volume]] in. Labelling the Gemtrac racks in the following manner allows the configuration of TapeTrack allowing operators to quickly locate a [[concepts:slot|Sloted]] [[object:volume|Volume]], or locate a specified [[concepts:slot|Slot]] to place a [[object:volume|Volume]] in.

 +Shelf number labels (starting at 1 for the top shelf, 2 for the second shelf etc) for each shelf are printed on adhesive labels of an appropriate size and applied directly next to each shelf.  Each and every drawer's shelves are labelled starting at 1 for the top shelf. It is recommended to print the Slot labels on one continual sticker for each shelf to present a neat professional finish.

 If you don't want to label every [[concepts:slot|Slot]] on every shelf, other options can be used as long as the operators can accurately identify the required [[concepts:slot|Slots]]. If you don't want to label every [[concepts:slot|Slot]] on every shelf, other options can be used as long as the operators can accurately identify the required [[concepts:slot|Slots]].

 Which format you use is up to personal preference, however it is recommended what ever format you choose that every shelf follows that format to maintain uniformity, ie. either all shelves labelled every [[concepts:slot|Slot]] or all shelves labelled every 5th [[concepts:slot|Slot]] and not a mixture of both. Which format you use is up to personal preference, however it is recommended what ever format you choose that every shelf follows that format to maintain uniformity, ie. either all shelves labelled every [[concepts:slot|Slot]] or all shelves labelled every 5th [[concepts:slot|Slot]] and not a mixture of both.
