Punched card subsystems

Adding
Cards
If cards are not added when necessary, the HOPPER ALERT light comes on as soon as the
last card leaves the hopper. The card punch halts.
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, 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 1200 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
continues.
Emptying the Chad Box
The chad box on the CPZZOl card punch is large enough to meet the requirements of any
normal run. However, unusually high punching activity may require that the box be emptied
-64..
