Card reader receives val id read order and reader is in II busy automatic ll state. light check occurs

Column 1 arrives at read station. Mode change (EBCDIC to binary) will occur at this time if rows

End of card is detected; card reader signals IIchannel end ll to controlling system. Card reader
returns to II ready II condition (a new SIO can be accepted if no interrupt is pending) unless the con-
troll ing system specifies command chaining, in which case the reader requests a new read order.

Notes:
®
Feed cycle is usually approximately 47 ms but can be as long as 200 ms (in case of slippage or slight jam).
If a card has not been fed after 200 msec, the transport motor wi II hal t, the reader wi II switch to IInot op-
erational ll
,
the FEED indicator will light, and an lIunusual end ll will be signaled to the controlling system.

The data bytes are transmitted, with respect to the column read time (approximatel y 2.05 ms), as shown

Throat jam detection occurs 215 ms later if card jams in throat area, causing transport motor to halt, FEED
indicator to light, reader to switch to "not operational ", and an lIunusual end" to be signaled to controf-

Read and timing jam detection occurs 225 ms later if card jams in read and timing area. Results in same
action as

Dark check occurs at this time. If dark check fails, the READ indicator will light, the reader will switch to
IInot operational ", and an lIunusual end
