ABSTRACT:
In the IBM Mag Card II, data read from the cards into the shift register buffer can be scanned without printing the data out and rerecorded on a magnetic card with proper pagination decisions made based on an operator entered line count. A system is provided for printing out a reference line near the end of each page based on the operator entered line count such that the operator can determine that the page has ended at a proper point. In addition, the system provides a control technique such that when a sufficient number of lines have been scanned to satisfy the line count, the reference print line will neither be the next to the last line of a paragraph nor the first line of a paragraph. This control is in accordance with established word processing procedures in that it is undesirable to end the page with the first line of a paragraph or to begin a subsequent page with the last line of a paragraph. Logic is provided to accomplish this printout in accordance with the above rules.
