Abstract
A tape feed control device is configured to detect resolutions of respective reels so as to supply respective reel motors with tension currents i.sub.t1 and i.sub.t2 for setting a tape tension to establish a predetermined tape tension of a tape extending between the reels, and so as to supply the reel motors with acceleration and deceleration currents i.sub.s1 and i.sub.s2 based on an acceleration/deceleration current ratio .alpha. to transport the tape. In this fashion, a desired tape speed is obtained, maintaining a constant tape tension.
