UNIVAC SERIES 70 (US70) MAGNETIC TAPE ORGANIZATION
XEROX LASER PRINTING SYSTEMS TAPE FORMATS MANUAL 6-11
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.
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”).
