A slitter is a wide paper feed system with sharp-edged pulleys over which it passes. There are quite a few videos of this on youtube, it's surprisingly well documented. Because slitter manufacturers are selling to mom-and-pop outfits.
I think the tape is supplied unpunched and the tape punch makes both feed holes and data holes. I could be wrong.
