Manual
duplication
advances
continuously
at
10
columns/second
as
long
as
VER
DUP
(DUP)
is
held
pressed,
and
a
previous card has
been keyed
or
read
with
valid
information
in
output
storage.
The
normal program
for a
given application
is
selected
by
the
setting
of
PROGRAM
MODE.
This
is
a
program
to
which
the
IBM
129
returns
after
column 80
is
keyed, with
REC
ADV/CARD FEED
set
to
AUTO.
During
the
keying
operation,
it
is
possible to
shift
between programs any
number
of
times
through
the use
of
PROG
SEL,
followed
by
data key(s) 0-6
to
select
the desired
program
level.
The
PROGRAM MODE
switch
setting
may
be changed
at
any
time during
a
record,
but
it is
not
effective until
column
01
of
the next record.
(For
a
detailed description
of
all
dial
settings, see
"PROGRAM MODE"
in
Section
4.)
PRINT
This switch
is
standard
on
Models
2
and
3
;
it
is
not
installed
on
the
Model
1
(punch-verify).
It
is
effective
during keying of
the record into
storage; that
is,
if
the switch
is
OFF
during
keying,
no
printing
occurs
when
that
record
is
punched
into
the
card.
If
it
is
ON
during keying,
all
characters (those
manually
entered
from
the
keyboard and
those duplicated
within the standard 64-character
set)
are
printed
at
the top
edge of the
card,
above
the
punches
in
the
column,
when
the
record
is
punched.
Printing
occurs
at
18 cycles per
second.
Any
character
not
in
the standard 64-character
set
is
not
printed.
No
printing
occurs during
normal
verify
operations;
however,
to print
on
a verify-correction
card
that
is
punched
during
verification,
leave
this
switch
ON
during the
verify
mode
operation.
If
a
field
has
all
zeros,
the zeros
(although
punched)
are
not
printed,
except
a
single
zero
in
the units
position.
High-order zeros
in
a
programmed
field
are
print-suppressed.
If selective
printing
is
desired
during punching,
set
the switch
ON
or
OFF
when
keying
into
input
storage
to
produce
the desired
print
control.
CHARACTER MODE
This switch determines
whether
the
keyboard
is
active for a
48- or 64-character
set.
(See Figure
4.)
READ
This
pushbutton
is
used
to
read
a
program
card into
program
control
storage, or
a
data card
into
output
storage.
For
a
detailed
description,
see
"Store
a
Program," and
"Data
Read
for
New
Master
Card
Information"
in
Section
3.
CLEAR
When
this
spring-loaded switch
is
raised,
the multiple cycles
necessary
to
move
all
cards
out of
the card transport into
the stacker
are initiated,
and
the
column
indicator returns
to 01.
No
additional cards
are
fed
from
the card
hopper.
Duplication
is
suspended
following
a clear
operation
until
one
card
is
keyed
or read into
output
storage.
RECBKSP
Pressing the
REC
BKSP
pushbutton
returns the
column
indicator to
01 of
input storage
without changing
the
current
program
level,
erases
the record
in storage,
and
suspends
any
automatic
skip
or
dup
function
that
is
programmed
in
column
01.
All
other
programmed
func-
tions
remain
active.
(The automatic
skip or
dup
function
in
column
01 can be
reinitiated
by
pressing
SKIP
or
DUP).
