Output Multiple Programs
Press {MULTI PRGRAM} to output more than one program.
After you pressed the {MULTI PRGRAM} key, the program
selected in step 4 is output. The program directory screen (see
Figure 9.3) appears with the following set of softkeys:

(softkey level 4)

OUTPUT

PRGRAM

FINISH

TAPE

Select the next program to output by selecting the file name as
described in step 4. Press the {OUTPUT PRGRAM} key to
output the program.

For details on how multiple programs are named,
see chapter 10.

ATTENTION: Be aware that the information in the directory
such as program name and comment are not output to tape. If
you want to transfer this information to tape, you must include
the program name and comment from the directory in the first
block of the program. See chapter 10 for details on “O” word
program names.

After the last program is output to the tape, press
{FINISH TAPE} to punch the tape end code to the tape.

Important: If an error occurs or you abort the copy
operation while punching a tape, the tape may not be useable.

Output All Programs
Press {OUTPUT ALL} to copy all programs in memory to tape at
one time.

{OUTPUT ALL} works like {MULTI PRGRAM} except
that you cannot select the programs you want to output.
{OUTPUT ALL} selects all programs automatically and
outputs them to the peripheral device.

All programs are copied to the peripheral device and stored
using the same program name as the original, in the order that
they appear on the program directory screen.
