Tape Client overview

Functional overview

The Tape Client software enables transmission of data from a cartridge or open reel tape to the DP EPS controller via the Socket Gateway. Your Socket Gateway must be set up to interact with the Tape Client software. (Refer to the online help for information on Socket Gateway installation and set up.)

To interact with the Tape Client software, open the Tape Client window on the controller user interface by selecting Tape Client... from the System pull-down on the DocuSP Print Services window. All Tape Client functions are accessed through this window.

Streaming and spooling transmission modes

The Tape Client submits jobs to the controller through the Socket Gateway. The data can be processed in streaming or spooling mode, depending on the queue to which the tape job is sent.

On the controller, you can set up a print queue to be spooling or streaming. (Click Help on the Queue Manager window for instructions on setting up queues.) You specify the transmission mode by selecting the appropriate type of queue.

•Spooling queue: When you send a job to a spooling queue, the entire job is received by the Gateway and written to the controller disk before the job is printed.

•Streaming queue: When you send a job to a streaming queue, the DP EPS begins to print the job as soon as it receives enough data to start; it does not wait until the entire job has been received.

Job and tape status reporting

On the Tape Client window, you can monitor the status of the tape processing while the tape is in use. Messages are displayed in the Status field at the bottom of the window.

After the job has been sent to the DP EPS controller, you cannot view information on it from the Tape Client window. You may check job status on the Job Manager window at the controller. (Click Help on the Job Manager window for information on viewing and interpreting job status messages on the controller.)
