5.4.2 Loading from an FCT to the FCB
The FCT is a looped paper tape with punched holes and sprocket holes for
feeding.
There are 2
types of FCT; &channel and
12-channel.
The punched hole
data is read by the FCT unit and loaded in the FCB.
The FCT is read automatically when the printer is turned on or when the RUN
switch on the FCT unit is pressed in offline mode. The RZN
:switch
enables a
new FCT to be read. Because the FCT unit determines that channel 1 of the FCT
is the start position, the FCT unit reads punched hole
data
starting from
channel 1 to the next channel 1 detected and sends the read data as a forms
feed format.
See Section 4.4.2 for the method for making an FCT.
5.4.3 Format specification from the operator panel
The number of lines per page is used to specify the page
len:gth
from the
operator panel. Thus,
a page length specified with 6 LPI differs from that
_'
specified with 8 LPI, even if the form is the same length.
The number of
lines skipped to avoid printing on or too near a perforation can
be specified from the operator panel. (Skip-over perforation feature) For the
setting method,
refer to
Operator's
Guide.
