The PS288 can be configured with an optional tape input feeder. The tape
input feeder is installed on the front of the PS288.
Tape input feeders are available in 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 44, and 56 mm sizes to
match device tape of those widths. The last two digits of the tape input
feeder part number indicate the tape width. For example, a 32 mm tape input
feeder has a part number ending in 32. See Figure 2-11.
