A. Line fuse: mounted beneath protective
panel D.
1.6 A (time delay) for 220 V or 240 V
3.2 A (time delay) for 100 V or 115 V
B. Mains voltage selector: 100, 115, 220 or
240 V AC. The mains voltage selector is
located on the bottom of the Facit 4022.
C. Mains inlet.

F. Data connector.
Make certain that the reader is set for the
correct mains voltage before connecting it to
the mains. Disconnect the mains voltage
from the reader before replacing the line fuse.

Fig. 5
• AC ON
• DC ON
• FEED
• START
• EXT
Turns on mains voltage sup¬
plied to power supply.
Turns on regulated DC voltage
supplied to electronics. When
DC voltage is on, green DC
lamp lights.
Feeds tape in either direction.
Used to start reading and to
restart after an error. When
this control is released after
being depressed, the ERROR
lamp is extinguished, thereby
permitting a reading instruc¬
tion signal to be sent to the
reader.
Used for sending signals
manually, e.g. to the data ac¬
ceptor.
Thumbwheel 3-Resets reader for different
hole configurations and tape widths. Note:
When changing over to a different tape width,
adjusters 12 and 15 shall also be reset.
Position 5 -for reading 5-track ISO
tapes
Position TTS
Position C
Position 8
Positions 6-7

-for reading 6-track TTS
tapes

tapes
• DC This lamp lights to indicate
that the reader is ready for
operation. In the event of a
short mains power failure or a
drop in mains voltage that can
cause a reading error, the DC
voltage supplied to the elec¬
tronics is turned off and this
lamp goes out.
• STANDBY This lamp lights when the tape
pathway cover is open, there¬
by indicating that all reading
functions are temporarily in¬
operable.
• ERROR This lamp lights when an error
occurs.

Tape width adjustment
To change over from one tape width to
another, it is necessary to reset both the read¬
ing unit and the tape pathway.
• The reading unit is reset using thumbwheel
3. See section on controls.
• The tape pathway is reset using the two
guides 12 and 15. Each of these guides is
provided with a small catch. Push the catch
down carefully and pull out the guide. Re¬
place in desired slot.
Top slot —8-track tape. Outer position
for Facit 4022.
Middle slot —6/7-track tape, TTS tape and
Japanese telex tape.
Bottom slot —5-track tape. Inner position
for Facit 4022.
Inserting tape and preparing for reading
• Turn on AC ON.
• Turn on DC ON. Check that the DC lamp
lights. The ERROR lamp will light simul¬
taneously.
• Check that the reader is set for the correct
tape width. If not-proceed as instructed
in section on tape widths adjustment.
• Open the tape pathway by pressing release
arm 10 to the right, whereupon the
STAND BY lamp (and the ERROR lamp)
will light.
• Release the core lock on the supply flange
as shown in Fig. 7a.
• Position the coil to be read on the supply
flange with the reference edge downwards.
Check that the coil of tape lies against
the supply flange. Secure the coil of tape
by pushing downwards as shown in Fig. 7b.
• Thread the tape around tape guide rollers
8, 7, and 9 as shown in Fig. 7.

• Lower the tape into the tape pathway mak¬
ing certain that it is below tape guides 12
and 15. On the Facit 4022, the tape shall be
inside the tape guides. Make certain that
the first character that is to be read is to the
right of light-emitting diode housing 14 and
reading unit window 2. Permit the tape to
run freely from the reading mechanism into
a wire-mesh basket or the like.
• Close the cover by pressing on the white
“press-to-lock” spot as shown in Fig. 9.
The STANDBY lamp will be extinguished.
• Depress the START control. This will
feed the tape forward two rows and the
ERROR lamp will go out, thus indicating
that the reader is ready to output the first
character read.
Removing tape
• Open the tape pathway by pressing release
arm 10 to the right.
• Remove the tape from the tape pathway
and close the cover by pressing on the
white “press-to-lock” spot 11.

Fan-folded tape can be read from cassette
No. 1507 0280-00.
• Insert cassette as shown in Fig. 11 or Fig.
12 .
• Insert the fan-folded tape in the right-hand
cassette compartment as shown in Fig. 9.
See section entitled “Inserting tape and
preparing for reading” for information
about the reference edge of the tape.
• Open the cover and insert the tape in the
reading module in the same way as set forth
in the section entitled “Inserting tape and
preparing for reading”.
• Position the tape in the left-hand cassette
compartment so that it will be folded in the
same way as previously. See Fig. 14. Close
the cover by pressing on the white “press-
to-lock” spot.
• Depress the START control.

Cleaning
A Light-emitting diode housing
B Light-emitting diode
C Glass window above reading unit
The light-emitting diode, the tape pathway
and the glass window above the reading unit
should be cleaned once a month.
• Clean the tape pathway using a soft hair
brush.
• Carefully wipe the light-emitting diode
glass window above the reading unit using
a soft dry rag.
Splicing tape
1. C u t the ends of the tape pieces between
two feed holes. The cut shall be clean and
absolutely perpendicular to the reference
edge of the tape.
2. Position the two cut ends with their ref¬
erence edges against a straight edge. The
ends shall just contact each other. Allow
no overlap and no gap.
3. Apply a splicing patch as shown in Fig. 16.
If an all-hole patch is used, see to it that the
holes coincide with the holes in the tape. If
an unpunched patch is used, holes cor¬
responding to those in the underlying tape
must be punched out manually. Splicing is
easier if you use a splicer provided with
guide pins and cutter.
Note: The maximum permissible thickness
of the tape including splice is 0.25 mm.
