1055 Paper-Tape Punch - Special Features
Edge Punching
This special feature permits documents with pre-
punched feed holes to be fed and punched ( chad type)
by the paper-tape punch. Documents can be paper,
punched card, or ledger stock with a minimum thick-
ness of .004 inch and a maximum thickness of .010 inch,
including folds. Document size limits (for single docu-
ments) are 4 inches minimum length (feeding edge),
and 16 inches maximum length. Document width can
be a minimum of
2
inches and a maximum of 12 inches,
but cannot exceed its length.
The length of continuously-fed fanfold documents
must be evenly divisible by .100 inch for proper regis-
tration. The first feed hole must be .050 inch from the
leading edge of the document. Documents greater than
8 inches long cannot be punched within .6 inch of the
leading and/ or trailing edges (leading edge of first and
trailing edge of last with continuously-fed fanfold
documents). See Figure 9. The direction of feed for all
documents must be identified by printing, corner cut
(on corner away from punching), or some other iden-
tification.
Note: This feature does not preclude the interspersed use of
paper tape.
Take-Up Reel
This special feature provides a 6-inch power-driven
take-up reel for the rewinding of tape after it has been
punched.
1057/1058 Card Punch
Controls (Figure 31)
Auto-Feed
When on, this two-position switch permits the punch
to automatically feed another card when column 81
of the card passes the punching station. At the same
time, the card in the left card bed is stacked, the one
in the center is registered at the reading station, and
the one at the right is registered at the punching sta-
tion. This automatic feeding occurs when column 81
of the card passes the punching station by any one of
the three possible operations: punching, skipping, or
releasing. See
Stacker Auto-Feed.
Auto Skip, Auto Dup
When this two-position switch is turned on, the pro-
gram for automatic skipping and automatic duplicating
is effective. When this switch is turned off, the 11 (start
automatic skip) and 0 (start automatic duplication)
codes in the program card are nullified.
Automatic skipping proceeds at the rate of 80 col-
umns per second; automatic duplicating, at 20 or 18
columns per second, depending upon whether the
punch is a 1057 or 1058.
Main Line
This two-position switch (see Figure 12) must be
turned on for the punch to operate either with the
1050 System, or as an independent punch.
Print (1058)
When this two-position switch is turned on, the char-
acter is printed, above each column, as the respective
character is punched. This provides for a full 80 col-
umns of interpreting.
Keypunch; Autopunch
When this two-position switch is set to
KEYPUNCH,
all
the normal keypunch functions are available. On
AUTO-
PUNCH,
the punch is under system control (assignment
switches, component-recognition feature-line or home,
component selection and attend-unattended operation
under line control, etc.).
Motor Control
This three-position switch (On, Test, Off) provides:
On: The 1057 /1058 is operative with the 1050 System.
Test:
The 1057 /1058 has no power in this position re-
gardless of the position of the mainline switches on
the 1051 and 1057 /1058. This is a safety device for
use when the 1057 /1058 is being serviced.
Off:
The 1057 /1058 operates as a stand alone unit
even if the 1051 mainline switch is turned off.
Stacker Auto-Feed; On-Off
This two-position switch (see Figure 12) on the stacker
must be on to permit the auto-feed switch on the
1057 /1058 keyboard to be effective. It is a momentary
switch that turns off when the stacker becomes full,
and returns to the
ON
position when the cards are
removed.
