SECTION IV.
TYPE 214-1 CARD PUNCH
OPERATING PROCEDURES
The Type 214-1 Card Punch is designed to punch standard 80-coluInn cards.
Cards are
loaded face down, nines edge first into the 1, 200-card-capacity input hopper.
The output stacker
has a capacity of 1,300 cards.
Cards may be loaded into the input hopper or removed from the
output stacker while cards are being processed.
Initial Setup Procedures
If it is necessary to process cards with irregular right-hand edges, the appropriate ref-
erence edge selection must be made.
The Type 214-1 is designed to be compatible with cards
having a reference edge either between card rows six and seven or between rows seven and
eight.
The reference edge is the trailing edge of the card, i. e., the right-hand edge of the card
if it is viewed face up with the nines edge at the bottom.
When processing normal cut cards, either reference edge track may be used by the
electronic checking and timing circuits of the card control.
When processing cards which have
been burst from either longer cards, card sets, or continuous forms (such as those used on a
printer), the reference edge may be somewhat irregular and may require an operator selection
of the appropriate reference edge track to permit proper sensing of the trailing edge of the card.
Selecting the appropriate track is effected by setting the reference edge indicator in the punch
to the proper position (see location below).
The screw on the indicator must be loosened before
the indicator can be moved to the proper position.
The reference edge setting is shown on the
indicator.
It should be noted that cards having reference edges between rows six and seven only
cannot be intermixed with cards having reference edges between rows seven and eight only.
