SECTION III.
TYPE 123 CARD READER
which the stop occurred (to insure that no information is
lost), and proceed with "e" below.
If
it is not possible to
determine accurately where the stop occurred, it is nec-
essary to reassemble the deck and read it again from the
beginning.
NOTE:
When replacing damaged cards, it is generally
not necessary to remove the cards from the
input hopper to reassemble the deck.
In most
cases, the cards in the input hopper need only
be raised so that the damaged-card replace-
ment can be reinserted in the deck in sequence.
e.
Press the TRANSPORT ON switch.
f.
Press the START switch.
5.
To restart following a stop condition for a VALIDITY indication:
a.
The handling of illegally punched cards is program-
controlled.
If
the program specifies corrective action
by the operator when a VALIDITY check occurs, read-
ing operations terminate immediately and the error
card mayor may not be offset-stacked.
In either case,
the error card must be corrected or replaced before
operations can be resumed.
b.
Press the STOP switch.
c.
Press the RUNOUT switch.
This action extinguishes the
VALIDITY indicator and also moves the card currently
registered at the wait station through the device into the
output stacker.
NOTE:
This card is not read as it is moved into
the output stacker.
The next to last card
in the output stacker is the card actually
in error.
d.
Correct or replace the error card, whichever is most. appropriate.
e.
Reload (with the remainder of the deck) the corrected or replaced
card and the last card in the output stacker as the first and second
cards, respectively, in the input hopper.
f.
Press the START switch.
6.
To restart following a stop condition for a CYCLE indication:
a.
The handling of a cycle-check error card is program-controlled.
If
the program specifies corrective action by the operator when
a cycle-check indication occurs, reading operations terminate
immediately and the error card mayor may not be offset- stacked.
A cycle check may be caused by skewing of the card during the
reading process.
When a cycle check occurs, both the error
card and the card in the wait station must be reread.
b.
Press the STOP switch.
c.
Press the RUNOUT switch to extinguish the CYCLE indicator
and to move the card currently registered at the wait station
through the device into the output stacker.
