Tape Client Job Submission Guide 1-1
1. Tape Client overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions
of the Xerox DocuPrint 2000 Series Enterprise Printing System
LCDS Tape Client software.
Features and capabilities
For offline operations, the input medium to the system is
magnetic tape, which may be recorded in one of a variety of
standard vendor formats. Offline printing is handled by the Tape
Client software, which is an optional part of the system software.
To submit a tape job, you set up the job on the Tape Client
window on the controller and click START. The job is submitted
to the printer through the Socket Gateway. (Refer to chapter 2,
“Managing and printing jobs from the Tape Client,” for job setup
and submission procedures.)
The system software enables you to submit LCDS print jobs from
tape on a cartridge or open reel tape drive and print them on the
system.
Supported tape
drives
You can submit offline jobs from the Xerox 18/36-track cartridge
tape drive that is offered as an option with the system from a
Xerox peripheral cabinet tape drive, or from other 9-track or 36-
track serial tape drives of the following supported types:
• Cartridge tape drives: 3480, 3490, 3490e, 3590
• Open reel drive: 9914
The following tapes are supported by the Tape Client:
• 18/36 track cartridge
• 9-track open reel
NOTE: The 26-track quarter-inch cartridge tape drive that is
provided with the system cannot be used for submitting jobs
through the Tape Client. It is used only for loading resource files.
