SETTING UP PRINT JOB SOURCES
•
Unload switch
If a tape is loaded, press the Reset switch and then the
Unload switch to unload the tape completely from the fixed
reel and the tape path. If a tape is threaded but not loaded,
pressing the Unload switch causes the tape to slowly unload
to the supply reel.
•
On Line switch and indicator
If a tape is loaded, press the On Line switch to place the
magnetic tape drive online to the system controller. The
indicator lights whenever the magnetic tape drive is online.
The magnetic tape drive must be online to the printer to
receive data from magnetic tape or to respond to entered
tape commands.
•
Reset switch and indicator
The Reset indicator is lit whenever a magnetic tape drive
error condition occurs or at the completion of a diagnostic
test. Press the Reset switch to take the magnetic tape drive
offline from the printer. Tape motion stops, and error status
is cleared.
You must also press the Reset switch, taking the unit offline
to use other touch-sensitive switches (such as the Unload
and Rewind). Only entered tape control commands are
accepted when the magnetic tape unit is online to the
printer.
Note: Some control faults require a power-off/power-on
sequence to clear. Refer to the Xerox 4850/4890 HighLight
Color LPS Message Guide for additional information.
•
High-density indicator
The high-density indicator is lit whenever the magnetic tape
drive is operating in the group code recording (GCR) mode.
GCR refers to the specific density of data as it is recorded on
the tape, which is measured in bits per inch (bpi). The tape
drive operates in 1600 bpi Phase Encoded (PE) or 6250 bpi
(GCR) modes. The default for writing is 1600 bpi. There is
no default for reading because the system checks the speed
and reads it accordingly.
•
Two-digit LED display
When in offline diagnostic test mode, the diagnostic test
numbers and results of the microdiagnostic or exerciser
routines display. When the reset indicator lights, a diagnostic
fault code or an online operational failure code displays.
•
Diagnostics indicator
The diagnostics indicator is lit when the magnetic tape drive
is in diagnostic test mode.
•
Test switch
When the magnetic tape drive is not online, press the test
switch to enter diagnostic test mode. If the magnetic tape
drive is online, there is no response because the
maintenance/diagnostic functions do not operate in the
online mode.
