The following interface and system disk options are available for
your Xerox 4635 Laser Printing System (LPS) system controller.
Your laser printing system may be configured for either the
online interface, the offline interface, or both (switchable). HIP
(host interface processor)-accessed interfaces are also available.
Online interface
The online (channel-attached) interface receives input directly
from any environment that supports the IBM 3211 and 4245 host
systems.
Offline interfaces
The offline interface is an excellent alternative or addition to an
online operation. It supports:
• 9-track magnetic tapes
• 18-track cartridge tapes.
The 9-track magnetic and 18-track cartridge tape drives are
housed in a peripheral cabinet, as shown in figure 2-1.
