If cards jam at the read or punchstation, removal of the
jammed cards and feeding in new cardswill allow resumption
of autopunchoperation.
Switches
Auto Skip/Dup |
When this switchis off, skip and dup may be impulsed from
the system only.
Prog Sel
The program selected by the program selection switch may
be changed by a system impulse to program 1 or program 2.
Auto Feed
The auto feed switch is on during proper autopunch opera-
tion. If procedure calls for this switch to be off, the feed,
register, release, program 1, and program2keys becomeac-
tive following the escapementofthe card fromcolumn 80
- (81). To resumeautopunch operationpressthe feed, program
1, or program 2 keyto feed the next card. The using system
may also impulse card feed, program 1, or program 2 to cause
a single card feed cycle.
-Autopunch operation with the auto feed switch off causes
a continual simulation of the stacker-full condition, whether
or notthe stackeris actually full. The checklight is turned
on andanerrorinterlock signal (non-ready condition)is sent
to the system after each card. A card is fed (and the checklight
turned off) by impulse from the system to card feed,pro-
gram 1, or program 2; or one of the corresponding keys on
the keyboard maybepressed to obtain the sameresult.
Clear
The clear switch is normally not effective when operating in
the autopunch mode. If, however, the auto feed switchis
off, the clear switch becomes active between cards. It is
therefore possible to clear cards from the feed bed after es-
caping from column 80(81) and before feeding the next card
manually.
Start Procedure
To prepare the 545 for autopunch operation:
1. Set autopunch/keypunch switch to keypunch.
2. Turn on main line switch.
3. Install a program drum with appropriate program card
mounted and lower the starwheels.
4. Set appropriate switches on the keyboard to control de-
sired automatic operations during autopunchoperation.
5. Feed three cards:
a. With the auto feed switch on, press the feed key twice
and the release key once.
:
b. With the auto feed switch off, press the feed key twice,
then the release key,.and then the feed key once again. »
(This places one card at the master station, one at the
punchstation, and one at the preregister position.)
6. Set autopunch/keypunch switch to autopunch. The 545
is now ready for operation under direction of the using
system
