Is it true that the biggest part of any conversion effort is obtaining all the printer resources required for the print job and putting them on the mainframe?
Normally this is a large task; however we have tried to simplify it. If the Xerox printers have the same resources on each one, then you will only need to load from one of them. If the printers each have different resources, then you may need to load each of them into different libraries. You would need to understand which library to use with which application. If you can load resources from your Xerox printer onto a magnetic tape (3420 or 3480/3490) that can be read on the mainframe, then you can use Teltape. We provide a 30-day trial for Teltape which can load all of the Xerox resources from a Xerox tape into a PDS, adding a 2 byte prefix to each resource name. (If the printers have only the QIC cartridges in them, IBM Canada has the ability to copy these tapes onto 3490 cartridge for you).If your printers do not have a tape drive on them, then you may have a large task as you will have to use floppy disks to transfer the files to a PC and then upload them.
