(2) Format specification by format control tape (FCT)

The FCT is a looped paper tape with punched holes and sprocket holes for
feeding.

The punched hole data is read by the FCT unit and sent to the

printer to notify it of a forms feed format.

Figure 4.11 is an example of

the FCT and shows the relationship between a forms feed format and punched
holes.
