5.4.2 Loading from an FCT to the FCB

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

feeding.

There are 2

types of FCT; &channel and

The punched hole

data is read by the FCT unit and loaded in the FCB.

The FCT is read automatically when the printer is turned on or when the RUN
switch on the FCT unit is pressed in offline mode.

The

enables a

new FCT to be read.

Because the FCT unit determines that channel 1 of the FCT

is the start position, the FCT unit reads punched hole

starting from

channel 1 to the next channel 1 detected and sends the read data as a forms

feed format.

See Section 4.4.2 for the method for making an FCT.

5.4.3 Format specification from the operator panel

The number of lines per page is used to specify the page

from the

operator panel.

Thus,

a page length specified with 6 LPI differs from that

specified with 8 LPI, even if the form is the same length.

The number of

lines skipped to avoid printing on or too near a perforation can

be specified from the operator panel.

(Skip-over perforation feature) For the

setting method,

refer to

Operator's

Guide.
