Line 85:
** The information on the tape beginning in mid-1990 includes the print date and time on the right. Next to the print date and time are letters that usually indicate the duplicator (though on some tapes, they indicate the distributor). This was usually followed by a catalog number and, optionally, the tape speed's initialism. On tapes with a different color cassette, the color and style of the printing varied.
*** For example, if the print date/time is numbered "020795 1358", then that means the specific VHS tape was printed on February 7, 1995 at 1:58 PM.
** Until January 1990, as seen in the first example above, the date was in MM/DD/Y format.
* Some Fries Home Video tapes duplicated by this company prior to 1989 said "'''WCV'''" (1988-1989) or "'''WCVD'''" (1989) on the bottom right corner of the label.
* In addition, tapes duplicated at this company also have a length code on the left of the information. On pre-1996 tapes, the nominal length is above the record tab (usually broken off), while on post-1996 tapes, it is on the bottom label portion. On some tapes printed using Otari thermal magnetic duplication systems, the length was preceded by the letters "TMDSP" or "TMDEP".
