Component Description
i
This publication gives sufficient information to understand the IBM
2671 Paper Tape Reader and IBM 2822 Paper Tape Reader Control
and the associated special features. The main purpose of the publication,
however, is to assist programmers and operators to operate the machine
when it is used as an I/O unit to the IBM System/360 Model 25, 30,40,
44, 50, or 67, or to System/370. The relevance of the controls and
indicators for such a configuration are given, together with points of
specific interest to the following:
• Programmers: Operational characteristics, including stop conditions,
addressing, recovery procedures, and System/360 commands.
• Operators: Tape loading, unloading, rewinding, and repair procedures.
• System Analysts: Tape specifications.
The sections for programmers presuppose a knowledge of System/360
and System/370 operation and of paper tape readers, but no such
knowledge is required in understanding the sections for operators.
