Component Description
This publication gives suffîcient 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:
Programmera: Operational characteristics, including stop conditions, addressing, recovery procedures, and System/360 commands.
Operators: Tape loading, unioading, rewinding, and repair procedures.
System Analyste: 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.
