Cassette Storage
and Handling.
When you are finished using a cassette do
the following:
1. Rewind the tape in the cassette.
2. Store cassette in its container.
3. Store cassette and container in a clean location at room temperature and
away from tools or large metal objects that may be magnetized.
SELECTING SPEED OF OPERATION
The RATE switch on the TermiNet 300 Printer determines the speed that the TCA
will "Write" or "Read". 10, 15, and 30 characters per second are the normal
selections. A 120 characters per second rate is available as an option.
Because
the speed you "Read" data is not dependent on the speed you "Write" data, you
can read the data at
any
speed you desire. When ''Reading" data, you should
"Read" at the fastest rate permitted
by
the situation. You can "Read" and print
at
30
characters per second or read at 120 characters per second
(if
you have
that option) to transfer information to another tape, a printer, a computer, etc.
POWER CONTROL
NOTE
You
can not "Write" from the keyboard at 120
characters per second. Also, do not change
speed while the TCA is in the "Read" or "Write"
mode of operation.
