Copying Xerox resources from printers to tapes

IBM Infoprint XT for z/OS
GI11-9492-01

You can copy the resources from your Xerox printer onto two types of tapes. The Infoprint XT tape unload utility can then read the tapes and copy the resources to a PDS. The two types of tape formats that Infoprint XT supports are:

  • 1600/6250 bits-per-inch (bpi), 9-track, open reel tapes; also known as 6250 bpi 1/2" tapes
  • IBM® 3480 or 3490 data format 18-track cartridge tapes

While there are other methods of copying resources from Xerox printers, such as using the Xerox printer's TCP/IP network attachment to copy all the resources from the printer to a z/OS UNIX System Services directory on your z/OS® system, Infoprint XT does not provide a copy utility to support them. You cannot copy resources from other media types into a PDS on z/OS through Infoprint XT. See Transferring Xerox printer resources to a tape, and Copying Xerox resources from a tape by using AIOZRTAP for further information.
