If the 1056 is polled while this cover is open, a nega-
tive response occurs. If this cover is inadvertently
opened while a card is reading, an interruption in
reading occurs. In this case, the 1056 is restored by
pressing the eject and feed buttons.
Setup
Procedures
When the 1056 is being used with the system, the setup
procedure is:
1. Press the eject button to stack any card which inad-
vertently remained in the card reader because of
improper shutdown of the system. (The 1051 main-
line switch must be on at this time.)
2. Install the card reader program tape (if used) in the
reader with the column 1 under the brushes with
the 1-track toward the machine. Check the on-off
switch for the program tape to ensure that it is
properly positioned.
3. Place the card(s) in the hopper of the card
rea~der
face down, column 1 edge first. After loading a pack
of cards, place the card weight on top.
Press the feed button to move a card into reading
position, and thus place the 1056 in a ready status.
(The cards stack face up in original order.)
4. Press the reset button on the 1052 to reset the sys-
tem prior to initiating system operation.
Installing a
Program
Tape
When the program tape is changed the power should
be turned off. Open the right side of the 1056 for access
to the tape reading mechanism. The reader brush as-
sembly is locked in position by the knurled locking rod
Figure 27.

1050 Detailed Information
(Figure 27). Raise the assembly by pulling the rod
outwards and lock it in the raised position by releasing
the rod. Push the tape tensioner left and remove the
program tape. Slide the new tape over the drive and
tensioner with tape track-! towards the machine . . For
initial alignment, the reference edge (left curved sur-
face on tape tensioner) should be at about column
3-:K to 4 on the program tape. Tighten the tape ten-
sioner by sliding to the rightmost position. Now the
reference edge should align with the tape at column
4-:K to 5. Lower the reader brush assembly, locking it
in position with the knurled rod. Close the side panel
and turn the 1051 main-line switch and the 1056 pro-
gram tape switch on.
Reader Operation -
1056
General Rules
1. Only one reader can operate in any one loop (Home
or Line) at any one time.
Note: Avoid setting the assignment switches for two readers
to
HOME
if the home-component-recognition special feature
is not installed. Reader conflict occurs when the home-reader
start button is pressed with both readers assigned to
HOME
(without this special feature installed).
2. A reader can be transmitting to the line while the
second reader is simultaneously operating in a
home-loop.
3. A reader will not start if the assignment switch for
the selected reader (reset or programmed by compo-
nent recognition) is off when the reader-start button
(home or line) is pressed. However, if the assign-
ment switch is then properly positioned (home or
line), reading will start automatically unless a
reader-stop was initiated prior to the repositioning
of the assignment switch.
4. A reader, assigned to a home-loop operation, and
reading, is stopped by:
a. Sensing a reader stop code when the prog-dup
switch is set to
PROC.
If this prog-dup switch is
set to the
DUP
position, reading the stop code re-
sults in the code being punched but, in this case,
the code does not stop the reader.
Note: The setting of the stop code switch has no effect
in home-loop.
b. Positioning the reader-stop switch to
HOME.
c. Running out of cards.
d. A temporary interlock due to a CR and LF, LF,
or tab on a printer, or to a release,
DUP
or skip on
the card punch.
