    Recorder (cat. no. 1770-SB). Familiarity with the Allen-Bradley processor to be used with the recorder is assumed. If unfamiliar with an Allen-Bradley processor to be used with the recorder, refer to the document specified in table 1.A for further information.
  • Page 6: General Information

    Refer to publication 6005-800 for use with the XL3 translator package. Data Cartridge The data cartridge recorder uses the Allen-Bradley Mini Data Cartridge (cat. no. 1770-XJ). The mini data cartridge is shown in figure 1.1. It is a 2-track magnetic tape storage medium. Each track stores 72K words (max) (K-1024).
  • Page 7: Marking Tapes

    Chapter 1 Introduction The contents of the mini-data cartridge can be protected using the RECORD tab (Figure 1.1). If the tab is positioned to the right, the tape is protected. If the tab is positioned to the left, the tape is unprotected and can be recorded on.
  • Page 8: Data Cartridge Repacking

    Chapter 1 Introduction Data Cartridge Repacking Before inserting a data cartridge into the recorder, verify that the power ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. This ensures that when the cartridge is inserted, an automatic repacking operation is initiated. The repacking operation involves a fast forward to the EOT (end of tape) marker, and a fast reverse to the BOT (beginning of tape) marker.
