All
keys
are active in direct
punch mode,
except
record
backspace,
which
is
inactive after
any
keystrokes
in
the
direct
punch mode.
Field,
word,
or character
backspace
are operative in a
buffered
field,
but
do
not
allow
backspace
beyond
the
column
following the
last
punched column
of
the card
in
process.
If
keying
is
done
when
a card
is
not
registered,
backspace
into
column
01
is
prevented,
even though
the
column
is
not punched.
The
LZ
operation
is
not
functional
in
a
direct
punch
field,
but does
operate
in a
buffered
field.
The
production
statistics
feature
normally counts
all
strokes
and
cards
in direct
punch mode.
Fields
programmed
for
accumulate
are
automatically
buffered
in
the
direct
punch mode,
regardless
of
the
direct
punch
programming.
Fields
programmed
for
total
punchout
punch
out
directly
when
in direct
punch mode,
regardless
of
other
programming.
Fields
programmed
for self-checking
number
are
auto-
matically buffered
in direct
punch mode,
regardless
of
the
direct
punch
programming.
When
in
program
level 0,
direct
punch
is
operative,
but
cannot be
controlled
by
a 3-punch.
After
any
keystroke
in
the
direct
punch
mode
(whether
buffered or not)
CLEAR
is
inoperative for that
card.
Do
not
perform
data
read,
program
load,
program
punchout,
or production
statistics
punchout
in
direct
punch mode;
use
regular
punch mode.
Verify
Read
Control Operation
On
Models
1
and
3,
verify
read control
is
programmed
in
verify
mode
by
an 11-0-punch
in
a card
column
of
the
program
card.
During
the
normal
verify-read operation,
the
machine
reads the card into input
storage,
and
stops the
reading
and
the card
motion on
the
column
with
the
11-0-punch, without reading
that
column.
The column
indicator
shows
the
next
column
to
be
verified, regardless
of
the card position
in
the bed.
The
customer must choose
appropriate
columns
for
noninteraction with
normal
1 1
or
program
codes.
(Note
that
11-0
is
invalid in
column
01, because
no
reading
has
occurred.
11-0
is
also invalid in
column
80, or
in
any
self-check
programmed
field.
In
an
LZ
field,
it
must
only be
used
in the high-order position.
Normal
verification
occurs
against
input
storage
until
the
column
prior to the
11-0
in
the
program
card has
been
verified,
at
which
time
that
card again
starts
to read;
additional
columns
into
input
storage until the
next
column
programmed
1
1-0,
or
until
column 80
has
been
read.
All
normal
verification
occurs
against
input
storage,
therefore,
all
normal
functions, including
all
backspaces,
are
available.
Accumulate,
self-check,
and production
statistics
features
all
operate normally.
Verify read control
cannot be
programmed
in
program
level 0.
However,
if
a
customer
switches
to
program
level 0,
and
column
35
(for
example)
has previously
been
pro-
grammed
for
verify
read
control, then,
on
completing
column 34
(verify),
the
balance of the card
is
read,
and
verification
may
continue.
CLEAR
is
inoperative
until
column 80
has
been
read, for
any
card
in
which
verify
read control
is
used.
Miscellaneous
Data
on
These Features
1
Program
level
changing
may
be done
normally,
and
the
customer
is
responsible for
accuracy
and
logical-system
control
when
so doing.
2.
Power
down
in
the
middle of
a
direct-punch operation
may
result in
a
punch
in
column 00
of
the next card
registered.
The
operator
is
responsible for
procedure
in
this
situation.
3.
When
column
35
is
to
be punched,
or
when
the
verify
card
is
stopped
on column
35,
then
columns
01-28
may
be read
on
the
left
side
of
the
punch/read
station,
or
columns 43-80
may
be
seen
on
the
right side
of
the
station,
depending
on
operator
position
at
the
keyboard.
EXTENDED READING BOARD FEATURE
The working
area
of
the reading
board
may
be
increased
by
adding an extension measuring
1
1-1/2"
x 12"
to
the front
edge,
left
side,
of
the
standard
reading board.
This
extension
may
be
field installed.
EXPANSION
FEATURE
The
expansion
feature
does not provide a function
by
itself,
but
is
necessary to provide additional capacity
in
the
machine
to
allow
the
installation
of
the
accumulate
or
self-checking
number
feature.
Only one
feature
is
needed,
even
if
both
the
accumulate
and
the self-checking
number
are installed.
(Not
recommended
for
field installation.)
