SECTION V.
TYPE 214-2 CARD READER/PUNCH
When reading - if the cards are damaged or bent out of shape
place them on a flat surface and, with any suitable instrument,
smooth out the rough or bent edges.
H
the cards cannot be re-
stored to a usable condition, they should be replaced with new
cards.
When punching - if the cards are damaged or bent out
of shape, replace them with new cards.
d.
Place the restored cards (or the new cards) and the remainder
of the deck in the input hopper so that reading or punching may
be resumed from the point in the program at which the stop
occurred.
e.
Press the START switch.
NOTE:
It
is usually not necessary for the operator to re-
move the machine covers when performing cor-
rective action for a feed failure.
4.
To restart following a stop condition for a TRANSPORT indication:
5.
a.
Raise the hinged top cover and clear the jam condition as re-
quired:
b.
NOTE:
It
is possible for the card causing the jam con-
dition to be in a position where it cannot be seen
by the operator, e. g., near the output stacker;
care must be taken to insure that the entire trans-
port mechanism has been cleared.
The transport motors are turned off during a TRANSPORT in-
dication.
They must be turned on before the RUNOUT switch
is operable.
To accomplish this, it is necessary to cycle up
the device again by pressing the POWER OFF and POWER ON
switches.
c.
Press the RUNOUT switch.
(It is likely that a card remains in
the wait station after the jam condition has been cleared.
Press-
ing the RUNOUT switch to move the card through the device to
the output stacker insures that the device is operable and that the
jam condition has been completely cleared.
This action prevents
further damage to the input deck when operations are resumed. )
d.
Load the input cards in the feed hopper face down, nines edge
first.
e.
H
it is possible to determine the point in the program at which the
last card was correctly processed, operations may be resumed
from this point by positioning the program accordingly and pro-
ceeding with "f" below.
H it is not possible to determine accu-
rately the last card processed, it is necessary to process the
entire deck from the beginning to insure that no program infor-
mation is lost.
f.
Press the START switch.
To restart following a stop condition for a VALIDITY indication:
a.
The handling of illegally punched cards is program-controlled.
H the program specifies corrective action by the operator when
a VALIDITY check occurs, reading operations terminate im-
mediately and the error card mayor may not be offset-stacked.
In either case, the error card must be replaced or corrected
before operations can be resumed.
