1. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) labeled tapes

The American National Standards Institute has defined standard labeled magnetic tapes in ANSI Standard X3.27—1969. The structure of these tapes is described in the following sections on tape marks and labels.

The tape mark is used on ANSI tapes in the following places:

• Following every file header label group

• Preceding and following the end-of-file label group (a double tape mark follows the last, or only, file on tape)

• Preceding and following the end-of-volume label group (a double tape mark follows the last volume).

Labels

Used in the manner described above, the tape mark identifies the boundaries between the data and label groups of a file, and the label groups in consecutive files.

Double tape mark A double tape mark (two consecutive tape marks) indicates that

no further data follows on the tape. A double tape mark also occurs between a header label group and a trailer label group when a file containing no information (a null file) is written. This null file double tape mark is formed by the tape mark following the file header label group and the one preceding the end-of-file label group.

There are two general classes of labels for ANSI tapes: operating system labels and user labels. Operating system labels are generated and processed by the operating system. User labels are generated and processed by user programs.

Four types of labels Within these general classes, there are four types of labels, each

80 characters long. They are beginning-of-volume, beginning-offile, end-of-volume, and end-of-file. The names of the various classes and types of labels are defined in table 1-1.

Note: In user labels, the letter “a” refers to any of the graphic characters defined in ANSI Standard X3.4—1968.

XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL 1-1

Type Operating system labels User labels

Beginning-of-volume VOL1 (required

(Additional VOL labels prohibited)

Beginning-of-file HDR1 (required)

HDR2 to HDR9 (optional)

End-of-volume EOV1 (required)

EVO2 to EOV9 (optional)

End-of-file EOF1 (required)

EOF2 to EOF9 (optional)

The beginning-of-volume label identifies the volume and its owner and is often referred to as a volume label. Other labels are called “file labels” and are either header labels (if they precede the file) or trailer labels (if they follow the file).

The Xerox/OSS can process four tape configurations:

• Single file, single volume

• Single file, multiple volume

• Multiple file, single volume

• Multiple file, multiple volume.

ANSI labeled tape structures

The locations of the types and classes of labels in these configurations are shown in figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3. Figure 1-1 shows ANSI labeled tape structure when no optional labels are used.

UVL1 to UVL9 (optional)

UHLa (optional; unlimited number allowed)

UTLa (optional; unlimited number allowed)

Figure 1-2 shows ANSI labeled tape structures with end-of-file (EOF) and end-of-volume (EOV) marks coinciding.

• In general, the pattern shown in option 1, figure 1-2, occurs when the end-of-tape reflective strip is reached while writing the last block of a file. Usually, the operating system does not yet know that this is the last block, and the EOV label group is recorded at this time.

• On the other hand, the pattern shown in option 2, figure 12, occurs when the reflective strip is reached after the EOF label group has been started.

• The pattern shown in option 3, figure 1-2, permits the initiation of any file within a file set at the beginning of a volume. When this configuration is used, the block count (field 12) of the end-of-volume label is undefined. File sets are not terminated by an end-of-volume label group.

1-2 XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL

AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE (ANSI) LABELED TAPES

Structures with optional labels Figure 1-3 shows ANSI labeled tape structure when optional

labels are used. Optional operating system and user labels are used to structure files, as follows, without otherwise modifying the relationship between the required labels and files.

• Optional operating system labels of a given type follow a required label of the same type.

• User labels of a given type directly follow a consecutive group of operating system labels of the same type. When no optional operating system labels are used in the label group, the user labels directly follow a required label of the same type.

• There are no tape marks within a group of labels.

• Every label is completed on the volume where the first label of a group was reached.

The HDR1 label is required for all files and for continuation of files on succeeding reels. It identifies the file and contains operating system information that relates to the file.

The EOV1 label is required following the last data block on a tape when the file or file set is continued on a succeeding tape. It is separated from the last data block by the tape mark that must precede every end-of-volume label group.

HDR2, EOV2, EOF2 labels

The EOF1 label is required following the last data block of every file. It is separated from the last data block by the tape mark that must precede every end-of-file group.

These labels are optional. EOF2 and EOV2 may be formatted differently by different operating systems.

The HDR2 label is optional but is provided automatically by some operating systems. When used, it must directly follow HDR1. HDR2 generally provides data relating to the physical parameters of the recorded file, including record format, record length, and block length. Table 1-4 describes the format of HDR2 labels.

OS/360 ANSI labeled tapes

2. IBM OS/360 and DOS/360 standard labeled tapes

The Xerox/OSS accepts any of the following IBM 360 9-track tapes:

• ANSI labeled tapes created under OS/360

• OS/360 standard labeled tapes

• DOS/360 standard labeled tapes

• Nonstandard unlabeled tapes whose data files conform to the record format, blocking factor, and carriage control requirements as described within this section.

ANSI labeled tapes created under OS/360 conform to ANSI Standard X3.27—1969. These tapes always have the HDR2, EOF2, and EOV2 labels.

IBM standard labeled tapes

Type OS/360 DOS/360 User (optional)

Beginning-of-volume VOL1 VOL1 OS: None permitted.

Beginning-of-file HDR1, HDR2 HDR1 UHL1—UHL8 End-of-volume EOV1, EOV2 EOV1 UTL1—UTL8 End-of-file EOF1, EOF2 EOF1 UTL1—UTL8

The EOF2 and EOV2 labels are always identical to the HDR2 and the actual count in EOF2 and EOV2. The recording code for both labels and data files is ASCII.

OS/360 and DOS/360 standard labeled tapes are similar in principle to ANSI labeled tapes but differ enough in detail to require separate processing. The labels created by these operating systems and, optionally, by users, are shown in table 2-

1. The location of these labels in the various tape configurations are illustrated in figures 2-1 and 2-2.

IBM OS/360 AND DOS/360 STANDARD LABELED TAPES

The HDR1 label is always the first beginning-of-file label. When the file is the first on the tape, the HDR1 label immediately follows the last VOL label without an intervening tape mark. When the file is not the first on the tape, HDR1 is the first block following the tape mark that followed the previous end-of-file label group. The HDR1 label is created by both OS/360 and DOS/360.

The EOV1 label is always the first (or only) label following the last data block on a tape when a file is continued on a succeeding tape. It is separated from the final data block by a tape mark.

The EOF1 label is always the first (or only) label following the last data block of a file. It is separated from the final data block by a tape mark.

HDR2, EOV2, EOF2 labels

The formats of these labels are identical and are described in table 2-5. Only HDR2 labels are processed. EOV2 and EOF2 are bypassed.

Record format

3. IBM DOS/360 GRASP tape organization

Each physical record on a GRASP tape consists of two basic elements: the identification segment and a segment containing a variable number of logical data records (refer to figure 3-1).

Figure 3-1. GRASP physical record format

Identification segment

Description • B0 is a byte which contains the length of the ID segment in

binary.

• B1 is used as a flag byte. If bit zero of byte 1 is set to 1,

then the first logical record following the ID segment contains a line up message-to be used for job control information by the operator.

• ID DATA, bytes 26 and 27 (zero-indexing from the start of

the block) contain the address of the phantom printer device to be used for block selection/deletion criteria, if desired.

• F1 is a one-byte binary value which gives the length of F3. A

zero value implies end of logical records in block.

• F2 is the channel control word after resetting bit 5 to zero.

In a line-up record, the channel control word stored here is treated as a “no operation” (NOP) by the printer.

• F3 is either a line-up message or a line of print data.

The identification segment is a logical record used by GRASP. It consists of a length byte (byte 0), a flag byte (byte 1), and identification data used only by GRASP.

• The length byte contains the length of the identification

segment, including the length byte, flag byte, and identification data.

Data records

Line-up records

• Bit 0 of the flag byte is set to one if the current data block

contains a line-up record. This line-up record, if present, appears as the first logical data record in the block.

The logical data records consist of three fields.

• Field one contains a one-byte binary value which specifies

the length of field three. If zero is specified, the end of logical records in the current physical record is indicated.

• Field two contains a one-byte code which, after turning off

bit five, should be used as the IBM System 360/370 (1403) printer carriage control code.

• Field three is the print line data. The length of the data is

specified in field one.

GRASP tapes are single file tapes ending with a single tape mark. Multiple reel tapes are signified by an ending tape mark coinciding with an EOT reflector.

Physical record size

Line-up records conform to the field three format mentioned previously. The length byte of the line-up record includes the length of the message identifier and the length of the message text. To locate the message text, scan the record for a hexadecimal 15 (X'15'). The text of the message begins with the character immediately following the hexadecimal 15. The channel control word in the line-up record is the code for a printer “no operation” (NOP).

The physical record size for each block of data on a GRASP tape is equal to the GRASP disk buffer size. This buffer size is specified at GRASP generation time and must be obtained from the user installation's software support group.

GRASP carriage control conventions

GRASP carriage control is identical to IBM 1403 carriage control except bit five (counting from the left of the byte) is set. This is equivalent to adding binary four to each of the IBM 1403 control codes. For example, GRASP code X'0D' is processed as 1403 code X'09', or “print and space one line.”

Block version characteristics

4. IBM DOS/360 POWER II tape

organization

The Xerox/OSS accepts labeled tapes produced by IBM DOS/360 POWER II, Versions 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. POWER II produces tapes with one 20-byte header label, variable length blocks up to 1024 bytes long, and blocks with variable length records. Each block is preceded by a 6-byte prefix which contains the block size in bytes (including the block prefix). Each record has a prefix which contains the record length field and carriage control information.

Version 4.0

The block Version 4.0 format is shown in figure 4-1. Figure 4-1. POWER Version 4.0, block format

• The 20-byte header label contains the characters PRTRDRPUN

in the first 9 positions followed by 11 blanks. (This is the same as Version 4.0.)

XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS 4-1

IBM DOS/360 POWER II TAPE ORGANIZATION

Version 4.1

• Each block begins with a 6-byte block prefix which contains

the block length in bytes in the last 2 bytes of the prefix. (This is the same as Version 4.0.)

• Each record is prefaced with a 2-byte field. The first byte is

the length of the data portion of the record in bytes, and the second byte is an IBM 1403 Machine Control Code used for carriage control.

The block Version 4.1 is shown in figure 4-2. Figure 4-2. POWER Version 4.1 and 4.2, block format

• The 20-byte header label contains the characters PRTRDRPUN

in the first 9 positions followed by 11 blanks. (This is the same as Version 4.0.)

• Each block begins with a 6-byte block prefix which contains

the block length in bytes in the last 2 bytes of the prefix. (This is the same as Version 4.0.)

• Each record is prefaced with a 3-byte field. The first two

bytes contain the length of the data portion of the record in bytes, and the third byte is an IBM 1403 Machine Control Code used for carriage control.

Version 4.2

The block and record format for Version 4.2 is identical to Version 4.1. (Refer to previous section.)

Tape formats

5. IBM POWER/VS and POWER/VSE

tape organization

The Xerox printing system accepts tapes produced by IBM DOS/VS POWER and DOS/VSE POWER as illustrated in figure 5-1. These tapes have no labels per se; however, the first and last blocks of a file, which are identical, have a special length and content and, in a limited sense, act as labels. Figure 5-2 presents an example of one such special block or POWER/VS.

File formats

A tape mark precedes the first file on the tape. A single tape mark separates files, and two tape marks end the tape. A tape mark encountered in conjunction with an end-of-tape reflector denotes an end-of-volume condition. (Refer to figure 5-1.)

For POWER VS, the file consists of one 152-byte special block, followed by data blocks as described below in the section “Data formats.” The last block in the file is another 152-byte special block.

For POWER/VSE, both special blocks are 184 bytes long, although their format remains the same otherwise.

For POWER/VSE II, both special blocks are 216 bytes long, although their format remains the same otherwise.

XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL 5-1

IBM POWER/VS AND POWER/VSE TAPE ORGANIZATION

Data formats

The data formats are fixed length blocks with variable length records; no block length fields are present. The record format has a 2-byte length field, a general purpose byte, a carriage control byte from the 1403 carriage control set, and zero to 132 print characters. (See figures 5-3 and 5-4 which illustrate block and record formats, respectively.)

A general purpose byte gives record or block identification; the codes and functions of this byte are listed and described in table 5-1.

Labeled tapes

magnetic tape organization*

A minimum set of US70 standard labels includes a volume label (VOL 1), one standard file header label (HDR1), and one end-offile trailer label (EOF1) or one standard end-of-volume label (EOV1).

The minimum set of labels may be expanded by adding up to seven of each label type. For example, a file label could contain eight file header labels, HDR1, HDR2, HDR3, up to and including HDR8.

Additionally, the user may include both user header labels (UHL) and user trailer labels (UTL). Up to eight of each of these labels may be used. For example, UHL1 through UHL8 and UTL1 through UTL8 can be added.

Label groups and sets

Header label group

The header label group consists of the volume label, file header label, and user header label sets. These label sets are contiguous within the header label. For example, if a HDR2 label is used, it must follow a HDR1 label.

The header label group is always ended with a tape mark (see figure 6-1).

Volume labels provide a means of identifying a given tape. The volume label set is the first label set on a tape. There may be up to eight volume labels per tape, but the data field in volumes two (VOL2) through eight (VOL8) are undefined. The contents of a VOL1 label are contained in table 6-1.

The standard file header label (HDR1) identifies a file and indicates the sequence of the file within a multi-file set. Additionally, it contains the volume serial number (identical to the volume one [VOL1] serial number) and the sequence of a volume in a file for multi-volume files.

Each file on a volume with standard labels contains a standard header label (see table 6-3). Additionally, the standard label may be followed by up to seven file header labels, HDR2 through HDR8 (see table 6-4).

Trailer labels

The trailer label group consists of the end-of-file or end-ofvolume trailer label sets and the user trailer label set. The endof-file trailer label set indicates the end of a file. It is followed by one tape mark unless the file under consideration is the last file on the volume. In this case, the end-of-file trailer label set is followed by two tape marks. The end-of-volume trailer label set is used when a file is continued on a subsequent volume. This label set is followed by two tape marks.

The trailer label group format is shown in figure 6-2. Figure 6-2. Trailer label organization

Trailer label sets

File trailer labels

The first label of a trailer label set is called the standard trailer label. This is either an end-of-file (ECF1) label or an end-ofvolume (EOV1) label. An end-of-file label indicates the end of a given file; an end-of-volume label indicates the end of useful data on a tape volume.

Tape configurations

The organization of standard labeled tapes varies from user to user. For example, optional labels may or may not be included, and tape files may occupy many volumes. The four basic configurations that can be processed by the printing system are enumerated below. An example of a standard label tape for each configuration is contained in the figure referenced.

• Single file, single volume (figure 6-3)

• Single file, multi-volume (figure 6-4)

• Single file, multi-volume (figure 6-5)

Unlabeled tapes

Magnetic tapes that contain no labels may also be processed on the printing system. Unlabeled tapes optionally may begin with a tape mark. Files are separated by a tape mark and two tape marks follow the last data file. An example of an unlabeled tape is shown in figure 6-7.

Figure 6-7. Unlabeled tape configuration

Note: The first tape mark in this illustration is normally written on output but may be omitted at the programmer's option.

XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL 6-7

UNIVAC SERIES 70 (US70) MAGNETIC TAPE ORGANIZATION*

Tape marks

Labeled tapes

A tape mark follows every header label group and precedes and follows every trailer label group. Two tape marks following a trailer label group indicate the end of data on a volume. Figure 6-8 shows an example of tape mark placement for standard labeled tapes.

Figure 6-8. Tape mark placement: Tapes with standard

labels, additional labels, and user labels

Unlabeled tapes

Null files It is possible, however, for two consecutive tape marks to appear

on tape and not signify the end of useful data on the volume. This condition (null file) occurs when the end-of-volume and end-of-file coincide (see figure 6-9).

Figure 6-9. Tape mark placement: Null files

Note: The notation (A) indicates the labels are part of File A.

Tapes using no labels optionally may begin with a single tape mark. Files on these tapes normally are separated by tape marks. Two adjacent tape marks signify the end of data on the tape (see figure 6-7).

6-8 XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL

Data formats

Users may generate magnetic tape files composed of fixed length, variable length, and undefined length records. The fixed and variable length records may be collected further into fixed or variable length blocks. All data blocks must contain 13 or more bytes.

US70 labeled and unlabeled tape formats

Listed below are the record formats that may appear on US70 labeled and unlabeled tapes.

Description • Fixed length, unblocked

• Fixed length records, blocked (block lengths are variable, so

• Variable length, unblocked

• Variable length, blocked

UNIVAC SERIES 70 (US70) MAGNETIC TAPE ORGANIZATION*

that the block length parameter is present) ’

Alternate device tapes

• Undefined length, unblocked. Notes:

1. The US70 system does not create blocked, undefined record format.

2. Block and record length values always include the block or record length field (4 bytes each) in the count.

3. The record or block length is of binary format and is contained in the first 2 bytes of the 4-byte field. For example, variable length blocked records have the format shown in figure 6-10.

The US70 operating system contains a facility for allocating devices to files at execution time. One situation in which this might be used is when a file that is generally printed on-line is written alternatively to magnetic tape.

A file printed on-line may not generally contain printer cartridge control information as a part of the file. Alternate device print tapes, however, must contain carriage control characters. The programmer is responsible for including them in each print line.

Tape organization

Alternate device tapes may be generated with standard labels, non-standard labels, or no labels. Similarly, these tapes may contain fixed or variable length records and may be blocked or unblocked.

XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL 6-9

UNIVAC SERIES 70 (US70) MAGNETIC TAPE ORGANIZATION*

Carriage control byte

Fixed length print records The carriage control byte for fixed length records is the first byte

of each fixed length record.

Variable length print records The carriage control byte in variable length records immediately

follows the record length for each record.

In both fixed and variable length records, the carriage control byte is considered part of the data of the record and not part of any other control bytes associated with the record.

COBOL print tapes

COBOL language programs executed under the US70 operating system may produce print tapes with up to four different formats. These formats are a result of changes in device assignments at run time. Also, reports written by the Report Writer feature of COBOL may be written to magnetic tape.

Subsequent paragraphs discuss possible formats that may be processed on the printed system and how they are produced. Use the following code to interpret the examples:

cc A single byte code for controlling carriage spacing on

the printer.

P COBOL Monitor output code of one byte appended

to the record; indicates the record is to be printed.

c COBOL Monitor output code of one byte appended

to the record; indicates the record is to be punched onto a card.

RC The report code specified in Special Names for the

WITH CODE option on the Report Writer.

Note: If the records are variable length, the block and record counts precede the first character in the examples shown below.

Format 1

This is a printer-destined file assigned to the external name SYSnn or a report written by Report Writer to the external name SYSnn. Records of these types of files have a single byte carriage control character appended to the front of the record.

6-10 XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL

UNIVAC SERIES 70 (US70) MAGNETIC TAPE ORGANIZATION*

Format 2

These are reports written to the external name SYSnn when the WITH CODE of the Report Writer is specified.

Records with this format include a single byte report, which is specified in Special Names for the WITH CODE option.

When more than one report is written on a file, this report code is used by a user on utility routine (US70's TPPR Utility) to select a specific report for printing. The report code lies between the carriage control byte and the beginning of the print data.

Format 3

This is a printer-destined file assigned to S (or a report written to) SYSLST/SYSOUT and executed under Monitor control.

Print tapes of this type have a single byte appended at the beginning of the print record. The byte is added by the Monitor to indicate that the record is to be printed. The byte precedes the carriage control byte.

Format 4

These are reports written to SYSLST/SYSOUT and executed under Monitor control specified with the WITH CODE option.

Print records in this form have three control bytes preceding the print data. The first byte is the Monitor output code, indicating the record is to be printed. The second byte is the carriage control byte. The third byte is the report code produced by the WITH CODE option of Report Writer.

XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL 6-11

UNIVAC SERIES 70 (US70) MAGNETIC TAPE ORGANIZATION*

US70 printer control conventions

US70 printer models 242, 243, and 246 accept a 1-byte command to control printer spacing. When printing is performed on-line, this control byte is sent to the printer before the print record and is not part of the print record. When printing is performed off-line, the control byte becomes part of the record (see “Alternate device tapes”).

Printer control byte

Line spacing

Line spacing may be performed before or after print the current file. From 0 to 15 lines may be spaced at one time (refer to table 6-10).

Figure 6-10. US70 variable length block records

Printer carriage control tape

Printer spacing may be performed by a skip-to-channel command in which the control byte directs the printer to skip to the next hole punched in a given channel of the carriage control tape. The control byte may request a skip to channels 1 through 8, 10, and 11. Skipping may be performed before or after printing the current line.

Note: A request to skip to channels 0, 9, or 12 through 15 is illegal and should not appear on print tapes generated for standard US70 printers. US70 printers fitted with Special Forms Control F5278-10-10, -30, however, can accept a skip to channel 0, 9, or 12 command, and these control commands may appear on the print tapes.

7. Xerox ANSI standard labeled tapes and unlabeled tapes

The Xerox/OSS accepts any of the following Xerox 9-track tapes:

• ANSI labeled tapes created under the CP-V system

• Unlabeled tapes whose data files conform to record formats,

blocking factor, and carriage control requirements of this printing system

• Tapes with other label conventions if the data files conform

to the record format, blocking factor, and carriage control requirements when these nonstandard labels are bypassed by operator procedures.

Control Program-Five (CP-V) and ANSI labeled tapes

ANSI labeled tapes created under CP-V conform to the requirements of ANSI Standard X3.27–1969 (refer to the ANSI tape section at the beginning of this manual). Labels processed by CP-V and the optional user labels are described in table 7-1.

Nonstandard labels

Tapes that have nonstandard labels, but whose data files conform to the requirements of this printing system can be processed by the Xerox/OSS. This is done by bypassing the labels using a simple operator procedure, then treating the data file as unlabeled. Nonstandard labeled tapes can also be processed as undefined tapes (see chapter 14, “Undefined tapes”).

8. Medium Burroughs system tapes

The Xerox/OSS accepts two basic tape formats from the Medium Burroughs systems (B2500, B2700, B3500, B3700, and B4700 computers): printer backup and non-printer backup ANSI. The features which distinguish printer backup tapes are:

• “BACKUP” in the label field

• Block length is 136 words (6 characters per word)

• Record structure is FB

• Carriage control is a 4-byte field. Figure 8-1. Format of the Burroughs standard label for a

printer backup tape

Record format

The record structure is “FB” for blocked, fixed length records. The block has no header, length indicator, or postamble; it may be truncated to less than maximum block size, but always contains a number of bytes equal to an exact multiple of the record length.

The record structure consists of 4 bytes of carriage control information followed by 132 bytes of print data (which may not be used if the carriage control code selects a “no-print” option).

MEDIUM BURROUGHS SYSTEM TAPES

The four basic configurations which can be processed by the printing system are listed below; an example of a standard label tape for each configuration is contained in the figure which is referenced.

• Single-file, single-volume (figure 8-2)

• Single-file, multi-volume (figure 8-3)

• Multi-file, single-volume (figure 8-4)

• Multi-file, multi-volume (figure 8-5).

The Xerox/OSS accepts Burroughs printer carriage control conventions as shown in table 8-1. Note that the values listed are represented as EBCDIC characters: for example, the hexadecimal equivalent for the first listing is X'F0F0F2F0' (no print and space zero lines).

1. During label processing the printing software ascertains whether or not a tape is a printer backup tape. Therefore, no special specification for printer backup is needed in the LABEL left/right parts.

2. The label is printed on a printer backup tape if one or more of the following is true:

• The JDE contains the specification PLABEL = YES.

• The label print flag in the label is zero.

• The forms required flag in the label is set.

Burroughs labeled tapes

Record format

9. Large Burroughs system tapes

The Xerox/OSS accepts Burroughs large system printer backup tapes generated on the B6700 computer.

With the exception that labels may be multiples of six bytes in length, Burroughs printer backup tapes are labeled following the specifications for ANSI standard labels described previously in this manual.

Records are variable in length and are blocked into fixed length blocks of 300 6-byte words each. Each record begins with a 6byte Input/Output Control Word (IOCW). The IOCW contains the printer carriage control, record length, and residual character count (variable length of record postamble). There is no block length given since each block is fixed at 300 6-byte words. Partially filled blocks are padded with zeros. An IOCW of all zeros signifies the end of data within a given block. (Refer to figure 9-1.)

XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL 9-1

LARGE BURROUGHS SYSTEM TAPES

Figure 9-1. Printer backup tape record format (Burroughs)

Line-up records

The first record of the first block in a Burroughs 6700 printer backup tape may be a line-up record containing a forms message.

• If this record is longer than 12 6-byte words and if a flag bit is set (bit 47 in the third 6-byte word following the IOCW), then the record does contain a forms message.

• The length byte of the line-up record includes the length of the forms message identifier and the length of the forms message text.

• The text of the message begins with the character immediately following the hexadecimal 15 (X‘15’).

• The channel control word in the line-up record is the code for a printer “no operation” (NOP).

The line-up record is recognized automatically as a stacked report delimiter by the Xerox/OSS. Furthermore, the line-up record is displayed to the operator when the printer is printing in singlereport mode.

Carriage control

LARGE BURROUGHS SYSTEM TAPES

Burroughs carriage control does not have a character representative but, rather, is represented by a bit pattern in the IOCW. Refer to table 9-1 for the carriage control actions induced by each of the carriage control codes. Pre-job forms alignment is to top of form; the default for an invalid carriage control is to print and space one line.

10. Honeywell tapes

The Xerox/OSS accepts magnetic tapes generated on Honeywell 200/2000 and 600/6000 systems. Supported label formats include standard 80-character labels, standard 120-character COBOL labels, System Print Type (SPR) labels, and standard system tape labels. Fixed-length records (bannered or unbannered) are supported on 9-track tapes in EBCDIC or 4 x 3 packed BCD; the SPR data format is a subset of this format. Variable-length records (bannered or unbannered) are supported on 9-track tapes in 4 x 3 packed BCD.

4 x 3 packed 6-bit character format

Octal data, 6-bit binary, or 6-bit character may be written on 9track tape in a compressed 4 x 3 format. That is, four 6-bit data bytes are compressed into three 8-bit data bytes when the data is written to 9-track tape. Each 6-bit data byte is extracted and two high-order zeros are appended.

Two separate methods are used on Honeywell tapes to pack and code 6-bit characters. Figure 10-1 shows an example of how BCD characters on Honeywell 200/2000 tapes are translated to ASCII by the Xerox/OSS.
