OPERA TING PROCEDURES
the condition is c orr ected.
The A UXILIAR Y indicator
on the main control panel is also illuminated.
When a
FUSE indication occurs, a service engineer should
be called.
The PICKER indicator is illuminated when the picker
motor drive circuits fail in a manner causing the picker
motor to run at a speed injurious to the mechanism. The
AUXILIARY indicator on the main control panel is also
illuminated.
When a PICKER indication occurs, a
service engineer should be called.
The HEAT indicator is illuminated when one of the cooling
fans fails.
The AUXILIARY indicator on the main control
panel is also illuminated.
When a HEAT indication occurs,
a service engineer should be called.
The Type 214-2 Card Reader/Punch is designed to process standard 80-column cards.
Cards are loaded face down, nines edge first into the 1, 200-card-capacity input hopper.
The
output stacker has a capacity of 1,300 cards.
Cards may be loaded into the input hopper or
removed from the output stacker while cards are being processed.
Initial Setup Procedures
If it is necessary to process cards with irregular right-hand edges, the appropriate
reference edge selection must be made.
The Type 214-2 is designed to be compatible with
cards having a reference edge either between card rows six and seven or between rows seven
and eight.
The reference edge is the trailing edge of the card, i.
e.,
the right-hand edge of the
card if it is viewed face up with the nines edge at the bottom.
When processing normal cut cards, either reference edge track may be used by the elec-
tronic checking and timing circuits of the card control.
When processing cards which have been
burst from either longer cards, card sets, or continuous forms (such as those used on a printer),
the reference edge may be somewhat irregular and may require an operator selection of the
appropriate reference edge track to permit proper sensing of the trailing edge of the card.
Selecting the appropriate track is effected by setting the reference edge indicators in the reader/
punch to the proper positions (see location below).
On the reader side the operator simply turns
the reference edge indicator to the correct position.
On the punch side, the screw on the indi-
cator must be loosened before the indicator can be moved to the proper position.
The reference
edge settings (6-7 or 7-8) are shown on the indicators.
It
should be noted that cards having reference edges between rows six and seven only can-
not be intermixed with cards having reference edges between rows seven and eight only.
