Printed in the United States of America Al%M1183/6 Foreword (This Foreword is not part of American National Standard X3.14-1983.) This American National Standard presents the technique for rec
16、ording the American Na- tional Standard Code for Information Interchange, (ASCII), ANSI X3.4-1977, on mag- netic tape at 200 characters per inch (CPI) using nonreturn-to-zero - change on ones (NRZI) recording techniques. It is one of a series of standards implementing the ASCII in media. Related sta
17、ndards specify higher densities and define more fully the physical and mag- netic properties of magnetic tape, and specify a standard record format and labels. The X3Bl Technical Committee which developed this document consists of a group of experienced and qualified specialists on recording of digi
18、tal information on magnetic tape. In the development of this standard careful consideration was given to current practices, existing equipment and supplies, and the broadest possible acceptance, while providing a basis for future improvement in the use of the medium. Suggestions for improvement of t
19、his standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Association, Suite 500,311 First Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20001.
