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.

•Cartridge tape drives: 3480, 3490, 3490e, 3590

•Open reel drive: 9914

•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.
