BLOCK REWIND
(see Figure 9)
When the BL<XA< REWIND pushbutton is pressed, the tape will back up rapidly
(if
not in the "Write" mode of operation) and stop at the beginning of a "Block"
or on the leader at the beginning of the tape (BOT) depending on which comes
first.
Each time the tape stops, the STOP pushbutton will light. When the
beginning of the tape is reached, the BLOCK REWIND pushbutton will light. To
stop at a point other than the beginning of the tape or the beginning of a
"Block", press the STOP pushbutton. The TCA will stop and the STOP pushbutton
will light.
REWINDING THE TAPE
(See Figure 9)
To
rewind the tape, press and hold the REWIND pushbutton. The tape will rewind
until the pushbutton is released or the "Rewind" is complete.
When "Rewind"
is
complete,
the STOP and BL(X;K REWIND
pushbuttons will light.
ADVANCING THE TAPE
(See
Figure 9)
To advance the tape, press the ADVANCE pushbutton. The tape will rapidly move
forward. When pressed, the ADVANCE pushbutton over-rides all other modes of
operation. The tape advances only while the ADVANCE pushbutton is pressed.
When the ADVANCE pushbutton is released, the TCA stops and the STOP pushbutton
lights.
WRITING RECORDING ON TilE TAPE
See
Figure
9
To "Write" on the tape, press the WRITE pushbutton. The WRITE pushbutton should
light.
NOTE
The "Write" mode of operation can only be attained
when the TCA is in the "Stopped" condition.
In
the "Write" mode,
any
data you type from the keyboard or receive from another
souxce is "Written" on the tape. When you finish "Writing" a "Block" of data
you
should "Write" a Reader Off Code (Control
S).
When "Reading" the data, the
Reader Off Code stops the TCA at the end of the "Bl()ck" and prevents
a
possible
error condition.
To stop the "Write" mode of operation, press the STOP push-
button. The TCA cannot be taken out of the "Write" mode of operation except
by
pressing the STOP or ADVANCE pushbutton or by receiving
a Recorder Off
(DC4)
code from a remote source.
