9-track magnetic tape drive The 9-track magnetic tape drive is optional. It provides an offline
capability for inputting data to the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS. The 9-
track can also be used for DSR or sysgen. Refer to
Xerox DocuPrint
180 LPS Operator Guide
for more information. The “Options” section
of the “Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS overview” describes supported tape
formats.
36-track cartridge tape The 36-track cartridge tape drive is an alternative to the 9-track
magnetic tape drive or an additional offline capability for the system.
It reads (18-track and 36-track) and writes (36-track only)IBM- and
ANSI-compatible half-inch tape in the 36-track IBM 3480/3490 data
format. Like the 9-track magnetic tape drive, the 36-track can be
used as a source for the loading and backing up of user files
(extension files such as .FRM) and fonts to and from the system disks
as well as providing an input source for print jobs. The 36-track tape
drive can also be used for DSR or sysgen. The “Options” section of
the “Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS overview” describes supported tape
formats.
