The Tape Input Module offers a convenient way to print IBM AFP, Xerox LCDS/Metacode, or other PDL formatted jobs stored on tape for processing by SP/D. Printing via tape input allows jobs to be submitted from systems that are not directly connected to the SP/D system or from print files that have been stored for backup purposes. The tape data is received from the tape device over a SCSI connection to the SP/D computer. Once the data is on the PC, you can take advantage of SP/D's print stream conversions and powerful job management capabilities to modify and route the data to meet your printing and archiving requirements. The Module can also be used to replicate a Xerox LPS offline printing environment.
