1052 Printer-Keyboard and 1053
Printer - Special Features
Pin-Feed Platen
A pin-feed type platen, used for feeding forms with
pre-punched feed holes, is available for the 1052 and
1053 in a choice of twelve widths. These widths, pin to
pin, are: 5-Y.l", 6", 7-}1", 8", 9", 9-%", 9-Ya", 10",
10-Ys", 11-W', 11-W', 13-Ys". The form width must be
specified for each pin-feed platen.
The 1052 is equipped for the feeding and stacking
of continuous fan-fold forms as long as 15" between
folds.
Note: When the vertical forms control special feature is in-
stalled, a special (extension) platen is required.

1050 Detailed Information
T-D, Tape/Document (Only with Edge-Punch Read
Special Feature)
This two-position lever must be set to T to permit the
1054 to read I-inch tape, or D to permit the 1054 to
read edge-punched cards and ledger stock.
Interlocks
Tape Presence Contact. When tape runs out of the
reader, this contact is actiyated to stop the reader.
A minimum of 12 idle characters must follow the last
punched character to insure that the message is read
completely before the reader stops.
Tape-Tension Lever. If a strain is placed on the tape so
that it can no longer feed, this lever is activated, and
the reader stops (see Figure 24).
When tape is inserted in the home loop, or if the taut
tape condition is relieved, the reader automatically
starts. The same is true for the line loop, unless the sys-
tem has timed out.
Setup Procedures
When the 1054 is being used with the system, the setup
procedure is:
1. Place tape in tape reader and check for proper
alignment of tape. The proper tape insertion pro-
cedure is:
a. Position the T-D lever with T visible (for tape
operation).
b. Press the table-release button to raise the table.
c. Insert the tape under the tape guide (and also
under the guide adjacent to the tape-tension
lever) with the tape leader over the sensing pins.
These pins are indicated by the red line on the
tape guide. The tape should be inserted with the
tape leader to the right and the three-track sec-
tion of the tape toward the back of the reader.
(The tape contains three punching tracks on one
side of the feed holes and five punching tracks on
the other side.)
d. Reposition the table by pressing the table down
and check that the feed holes are over the feed
pins.
e. Operate the tape-advance wheel to manually po-
sition the first coded column over the sensing pins
(as indicated by the red line on the tape guide).
Note: The procedure for the insertion of edge-punched
documents is the same as for tape except that the T-D
lever is positioned with the D visible (for documents).
