Main Control Panel Switches
The switches on the main control panel of the Type 214-1 are momentary-contact switches
which are activated when pressed.
A functional description of each switch follows:
POWER ON
Pressing this switch turns on primary power in the
card punch and illuminates the POWER ON indicator.
POWER OFF
Pressing this switch turns off all power in the card
punch.
If the POWER OFF switch is pressed while
a card is being processed, the effect upon data
transfer is unspecified.

Main Control Panel Indicators
Pressing the START switch places the punch in a
"ready" status and illuminates the START indicator.
The START switch moves a card into the wait station
(if it is empty), resets the CARDS and INPUT indi-
cators, and deactivates the busy signal to the central
processor.
If the START switch is pressed when the
STOP indicator is not illuminated, no action results.
Pressing the STOP switch removes the punch from
the ready status and illuminate s the STOP indicator.
The busy signal to the central processor is activated
and remains active until the START switch is pressed.
If a punch instruction is in process in the card control
when the STOP switch is pressed, that instruction is
transmitted to the punch and executed.
This switch is effective only when the punch is in
the STOP mode.
Pressing the RUNOUT switch
causes cards to be removed from the card path
without processing (input hopper need not be emptied).
The RUNOUT switch resets a TRANSPORT check.
End-of-instruction signals are generated and sent to
the central processor.
If the punch stops because
an error is detected, pressing the RUNOUT switch
allows operations to be resumed after a restart
procedure has been performed.
The indicators described below are visible only when illuminated:
