You recall correctly; I ran a 101 with my Commodore PET for several years
and it did indeed use 1" 8 channel paper tape for vertical form control.
Side note: because of its size and noise it was in the basement, connected
to the PET in the upstairs office with a ~40 foot ribbon cable, contrary to

All form control tapes I have are normal "paper" tapes. I have not seen
such a mylar tape, yet.

5 and 8 channel tape is fairly common, but there was also 6 and 7
channel tape (in widths specific to those types) which is far less
common. I haven't seen 6 channel tape since the
This wasn't a large IBM lineprinter and I'm pretty sure it was 1" tape, but
it may well have been inspired by those machines. It would likely have
been used with custom fanfold paper for invoices, cheques etc. - certainly
the same sort of customer-specific those machines dealt with, but for the

IIRC the Centronics 101 printers did this. It was for vertical spacing
- you could put different loops in for different form lengths.
I used to service them (mostly replacing heads) but never operated :-)

That would figure in why I occasionally see tapes with
irregularly-spaced feed holes. That clears that mystery up.

The punch (on an ASR33 anyway) punches the feed (center) holes. All the rolls
I have are completely unperforated.

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

Thanks to the estate of a "silent key" I have more paper tape than I will ever
use. If you are interested, let me know and I will sell you a couple of rolls.
I have both beige and black.
