Operator Guide
The DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS supports several types
of tape drives that may be used to load resources (forms, fonts,
etc.) or to submit offline LCDS print jobs.
The 26-track cartridge tape drive, provided with your Xerox
DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS, can be used only to import
resources to the system disk. 9-track and 36-track tape drives
can be used to submit print jobs to the DocuPrint EPS, or load
resources.
The DocuSP Tape Client software enables transmission of data
from a cartridge or open reel tape to the DocuPrint EPS
controller via the Socket gateway.
The 4 GB external SCSI quarter inch cartridge (QIC) tape drive
is an external device provided with the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/
135/155/180 EPS. The cartridge tape drive connects to the
controller through the SCSI port on the processor back panel.
Like the diskette and DVD drives, this tape drive is not an input
source for print jobs or for any other data or application. You can
use it to load resource files, and the service representative uses
it to load system maintenance files or to save diagnostic
information.
