XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS OVERVIEW

DocuPrint 180 LPS connection

The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS may be ordered with the following optional connections:

Online interface The online channel interface receives input directly from the host system. All IBM systems which support the channel-attached 3811/ 3211 or 4245 interface are supported. Non-IBM systems are supported through a variety of connections such as DDI. (Refer to the DDI description below.)

Offline interface The offline interface is an excellent alternative or addition to an online operation. It supports 9-track (1600/6250 bpi), 18 track (read only), and 36-track (3480/3490 format) tapes conforming to one of the following formats:

Refer to Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide and to Xerox LPS Tape Formats Manual for additional information.

DDI interface The Dynamic Document Interface (DDI) enables communication between a Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS and other products via a shared disk mechanism. The interface allows the other products (such as DEC, PC, MAC, and UNIX local area network (LAN) workstations) to save print files to an external hard disk. The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS then directly accesses the external hard disk to retrieve files for printing. The DDI passes data over a high performance SCSI bus.
