Setup
To set upvthe card punch and start operations, follow the sequence below:
1.
Press POWER ON.
In about 2 seconds, POWER ON glows amber and the HALT
and RESET lights glow blue. If RESETdoes not light within the normal time, check
to see whether the punch is connected to its power supply or a card jam exists
in the transport as the result of a previous operation.
After power is on, it takes approximately 10 seconds for the transport motor to
synchronize with the motor for the punching mechanism. If the two motors do not
synchronize within 10 seconds, power to the punch is automatically turned off and
POWER ON must be pressed again to restart. If the motors fail to synchronize after
several attempts, the service engineer must be called.
When the two motors have synchronized, the punch is ready for operations. If
there are no cards in the punch transport, the MANUAL CYCLE light comes on.
If there are no cards in the input hopper, the HOPPER ALERT light glows blue.
2.
Open the swing-out doors at the, left front of the punch cabinet, empty the chad
box, and replace the box in the correct position.
3.
Lift the
card weight and load the aligned cards into the input hopper and the
auxiliary hopper, face down, with the top edge (row 12) facing the punch. Replace
4.
Press the lighted MANUAL CYCLE control once. This feeds the first four cards
into the punch and removes any cards still remaining in the postpunch stations.
When the prepunch stations are loaded, the MANUAL CYCLE light goes off.
If
cards do not feed and the light remains on, check to see if aFeed Alert has occurred.
If so, correct this condition before continuing. If cards still do not feed, the brushes
'of the read head may not be locked in place. This condition must be corrected
by the service engineer.
