ABSTRACT:
Streaming magnetic tape system used as an electronic recirculating feeder for copiers and printers. Scanned and digitized original pages are stored on tape by high speed thin film parallel heads. The tape is reversed and the heads are shifted after one-half of the pages are stored on the tape. Storage of the second half of the pages results in the tape being back at the place of beginning, thus eliminating time-consuming rewinds. In one embodiment, the pages are counted before recording to ascertain the middle tape reversal location.
