Clearing the
Card
Bed
Raise
CLEAR
when
the card
bed
is
to
be completely
cleared
at
the
end
of
(or to interrupt) a
punching
or
verifying operation,
without
feeding
more
cards
from
the
hopper.
All
cards
in
the card
bed
are
transported
to
the
stacker.
(This
procedure
is
recommended
before turning off
the
power.)
CAUTION
At
the conclusion
of
a
job or batch (punching),
if
a
blank
card
is
still
not
registered
at
the
punch
station,
then
you
should feed
and
register
one
or
two
cards to ensure that
all
stored data has
been punched.
If
the
first
registered
card
does
not
punch
out,
no
further action
is
required, as
all
stored data has
been punched.
Raise
CLEAR
to
clear
the transport
area.
Auto
or
manual dup
does not operate
on
the
first
record following
a
CLEAR,
unless
valid
data has
been
read into
output
storage.
Running Out
of
Blank Cards
The
operator's
keying
and
input storage
are
always
from
one
to
two
records
ahead of
the
unpunched
cards.
Accordingly, the operator
is
cautioned
to
ascertain that
an
adequate supply of blank
cards
is
in
the
hopper
during
a
production
run. If the
machine
runs completely out
of
cards,
and
the
operator
is
unaware of
this,
up
to
two
entire
records
may
already
be
in
output and
input
storage,
awaiting
availability
of blank
cards.
In
such
a case,
the
correct
procedure
is
to
obtain
at least
two
blank
cards,
insert
them
in
the hopper,
press
FEED
until
the cards
are
registered
and
automatic punching
starts.
To
avoid
losing
data
in
input or
output
storage,
do
not shut off
power
before the cards
are
punched.
(See
"Data
Security"
for
procedure
to eliminate data
loss.)
Data
Security
To
avoid the
possibility
of
missing data
(which
would show
up on
any
verify
check) observe
this rule:
If,
at
the conclusion
of punching
a
job or batch (with
REC ADV/CARD FEED
set
to
AUTO),
a
card
is
not
registered at
the
punch
station,
feed
and
register
two
cards
to ensure that
all
stored data has
been
punched.
If
the
first
registered
card does
not
punch
out,
no
further action
is
needed.
All stored
data has
been punched.
If
REC ADV/CARD FEED
is
set
to
MANUAL
at
the
conclusion
of punching,
the
procedure
is
the same,
except
that a
program must be manually
selected (see
"Selecting
a
Stored
Program")
or
REC ADV/CARD FEED
set
to
AUTO.
Operation of
CLEAR,
after partially
keying
in
a record,
moves
the card
out of
the card bed,
but
also clears
the
partial
record
by
resetting
input
storage to
column
01.
Be
aware of
this
action:
it
may
cause
loss
of data needed
for
the
next
record.
CLEAR
also
prevents
manual
or
auto
dup
in
the
next
record, unless
new
master data
is
entered
by
a
data read operation.
In applications
where
sensitive
data
is
being
processed,
and
data
security
is
of
concern, follow the preceding
rule to
ensure
that valid
data
is
not
left
unpunched.
If sensitive
data
is
to
be
erased
after
punchout, but counter
totals
and
programs
are to
be
preserved,
release
two
blank
cards
in
punch
mode
with
AUTO
SKIP/DUP
set
to
OFF.
This
inserts
spaces
in
both
input
and
output
storage.
CAUTION
Turning
the
power
switch off automatically destroys
any
information remaining
in storage.
It
also
destroys
all
programs and
all
totals in
the
machine.
Power
Off
(Cards
in
the
Card
Transport)
If
the
mainline
switch
is
turned off while
a card
is
registered,
and
then
the switch
is
turned on,
a
card
jam
may
occur
when
the
next
card feed
occurs.
Always
clear
the
card
bed
before turning
power
off.
Remember
that
power
off
sets
all
totals
to zero
(in
the
production
statistics
and
accumulate
counters)
and
also resets
all
programs
to
zero.
PROGRAMMING AND

is
performed.
3.
AUTO
SKIP/DUP,
REC ADV/CARD
FEED,
and
CHARACTER MODE
switch

are correct.
A
program punchout
procedure
may
be
followed
to

necessary.
Program
Selection
In
selecting
a
program,
PROG
SEL
is
pressed,
then
the
appropriate data
key
(0-6)
is
pressed. If
any key
other
than
the appropriate data
key
is
pressed,
the
keyboard
locks.
In
that
case, select
again
after pressing
CHAR
BKSP
to
release
the
keyboard
lock.
If
a
program
selection
is
not
desired
after
pressing
PROG
SEL,
either
select
the
same program
level
you
are
presently
in,
or press
FIELD/WORD BKSP
or
REC BKSP
to
reset
the
