Punched card subsystems

Adding Cards
It is good practice to keep the auxiliary hopper at least partially full.
Removing
Cards
The operator removes punched cards from the output stacker at the end of a program run,
to prevent mixing the cards with the output of the next run. After the last card has been
punched, press the unlighted MANUAL CYCLE control, holding it down until the punched
cards are cleared and stacked.
If the program provides for a blank card at the end of the deck, the last card containing
punched data is checked by the read area and continues on to the stacker. If the program
does not provide for a blank card and Punch Alert exists on the last card, a glowing PUNCH
ALERT
light
is its only indication.
The card causing the Punch Alert is the last card
in the stacker.
When a program punches more than 3000 cards, the operator either removes cards when
the full output stacker causes the HOPPER ALERT light to come on and stops the punch,
or he removes cards before the stacker is full. Cards can be removed while punching con-
tinues.
