Tape width adjustment
To change over from one tape width to
another, it is necessary to reset both the read¬
ing unit and the tape pathway.
• The reading unit is reset using thumbwheel
3. See section on controls.
• The tape pathway is reset using the two
guides 12 and 15. Each of these guides is
provided with a small catch. Push the catch
down carefully and pull out the guide. Re¬
place in desired slot.
Top slot
—8-track tape. Outer position
for Facit 4022.
Middle slot —6/7-track tape, TTS tape and
Japanese telex tape.
Bottom slot —5-track tape. Inner position
for Facit 4022.
Inserting tape and preparing for reading
• Turn on AC ON.
• Turn on DC ON. Check that the DC lamp
lights. The ERROR lamp will light simul¬
taneously.
• Check that the reader is set for the correct
tape width. If not-proceed as instructed
in section on tape widths adjustment.
• Open the tape pathway by pressing release
arm
10
to
the
right,
whereupon
the
STAND BY lamp (and the ERROR lamp)
will light.
• Release the core lock on the supply flange
as shown in Fig. 7a.
• Position the coil to be read on the supply
flange with the reference edge downwards.
Check that the coil of tape lies against
the supply flange. Secure the coil of tape
by pushing downwards as shown in Fig. 7b.
• Thread the tape around tape guide rollers
8, 7, and 9 as shown in Fig. 7.

• Lower the tape into the tape pathway mak¬
ing certain that it is below tape guides 12
and 15. On the Facit 4022, the tape shall be
inside the tape guides. Make certain that
the first character that is to be read is to the
right of light-emitting diode housing 14 and
reading unit window 2. Permit the tape to
run freely from the reading mechanism into
a wire-mesh basket or the like.
• Close the cover by pressing on the white
"press-to-lock" spot as shown in Fig. 9.
The STANDBY lamp will be extinguished.
• Depress the START control. This will
feed the tape forward two rows and the
ERROR lamp will go out, thus indicating
that the reader is ready to output the first
character read.
Removing tape
• Open the tape pathway by pressing release
arm 10 to the right.
• Remove the tape from the tape pathway
and close the cover by pressing on the
white "press-to-lock" spot 11.
