Reading Patterns from Tape
Manufacturers use proprietary codes for patterns on paper tapes. The BENS reads tapes
in the following formats:
•
U: Barudan
•
F: Fortron (ZSK, Melco)
•
El: El-tac (Happy, Tajima) codes.
Paper tapes can be read from peripherals using parallel or serial connections. The
connection type your tape reader uses determines whether you choose Tape or COM
for the device. Parallel devices use Tape; Serial devices use COM.
The following Barudan devices communicate with the BENS using the Tape
connection: PTR-V, PTR-VI, FDR-III, FDR-V, and JM-IV.
