In Linux the emulator can be compiled with support for a character
printer and an emulated high speed paper tape reader and punch with the
arguments -dprinter and -dtape respectively. The printer is mapped to
address FFFE and the tape reader and punch to FFFD. The printer prints
into /dev/usb/lp0 and the tape files read from and punched to are
(re)set using the program tapectl with the arguments -r and -p
respectively.

The IPL loads the program specified as an argument when running the
emulator.
