Four standard program levels and a special PRINT EDIT memory are available (0 the user 10 store individual programs. Pro- ‘grams provide the user with the ability 10 automatically Control such functions as data formatting, duplicating, punch suppressing, skipping and print editing (8010) Alter program cards have been prepared, they are ead into selected program storage areas to enable the operator to se- lect a program to assist in controlling the format for keying, punching and/or printing (8010) For a general description of the Data Recorder operations, assume the operator has set the mode control to the PUNCH mode of operation to keypunch a specific job as- signment using the 8010 Interpreting Data Recorder. The operator selects the stored program to be used and key- punching begins under program control. ‘A blank card is fed into the visible wait station ofthe Data Recorder and the column indicator visually displays the number of the first column to be keyed. The operator keys each character into electronic memory and the data is stored until an entire card image has been completed, The card is then moved into the punch/print station and is punched and printed with the data stored in electronic memory. The Data recorder then releases the completed card into an output stacker and another blank card is fed into the visible wait station, Electronic storage is im- mediately available for keying the next card while the previous card is being punched and printed. ‘Since data is stored in electronic memory before it is punched and printed into a card, operator sensed keying errors can be easily rekeyed prior to actual punching of the card, ‘After the cards have been Keypunched, it is often necessary to verify them. Verification is a key mode operation, similar to keypunching and is performed to check the accuracy of the ‘cards that have been keypunched {In most instances, the same program that was used to key: punch the cards ean also be used to verify them, For a ‘Beneral description of the verification process, assume the ‘operator has set the mode control switch to VERIFY using the same program as used in PUNCH mode, The punched cards are placed in the primary hopper. A supply of blank cards is placed in the secondary hopper to permit the Data Recorder to automatically make a new card when an in- ly punched card is detected during verification, ‘A punched card is fed through the read station where each ‘column is read into electronic memory; the card stops in the Visible wait station and Key verification begins. As the oper stor keys each column, the Data Recorder compares the ‘operator's keystrokes with the data stored in electronic memory. If the comparison for each column is correct the Data Recorder moves the punched card into the punch/ print station where it is punched with 1wo verify correct Punches. The card is then released tothe fist output stacker. When an error is detected in the stored data, the operator keys the correct data into electronic memory aund completes verification for that card image, The Data Recorder then moves the incorrectly punched card from the wait station and releases it to the second output stacker, thereby separat- ing it from the verify correct cards. At the same time, & blank card is fed from the secondary hopper into the punch/print station, The Data Recorder automatically makes a new card by punching and printing (8010) the blank card with the corrected card image stored in elec- tronic memory. The card is also punched with one verify correct punch and released to the frst output stacker 10 maintain file sequence of the cards verified ‘Verification can continue for the next punched card as soon as it has been fed into the visible wait station, In addition to the operational overview above, this chapter also provides a general description of the features which are standard on the 8001 and 8010 Data Recorders. The Aucxi- ‘ary functions which can be operated on the 8001 and 8010 are presented in Chapter S. The Optional Features for both the $001 and 8010 Data Recorders are described in Chap- ter 7. STANDARD FEATURES The 8001 and 8010 provide the user with a number of standard features, some of which are unique, to enable ‘operators to achieve new levels in eard production. Movable 64 Character Keyboard The keyboard is connected by a cable to the operator panel. This allows the operator to adjust its position for convenience and comfort. There are 3 keyboard switches, 19 function Keys,and 35 data keys, The data keys con: tain 64 different characters, An audible feedback is pro- vided to. the operator for each successful keystroke. [As each Key is depressed, a click sound tells the opera- tor that the Keystroke was entered into buffer memory. If-not heard, the operator will know to restroke. Color coding is used to differentiate data keys from function keys. The home keys, A, S, D, F, J, K, and L are deeper in depth to provide a sense of touch which differentiates them from the other rows of keys. Backspace ‘The backspace key permits the operator to backspace one column at a time or to backspace continuously, column-by- column, until the fist column ofthe field, or card is reached 11Right Adjust ‘The RIGHT ADJUST key is used to shift the data (usually ‘numeric) in a partially filled field tothe rightmost column(s) of the field. eg, A field consists of columns I-12. The sum 829 for instaice, is keypunched in columns 1-3 of the field, ‘When the RIGHT ADJUST key is depressed, the Data Re- corder automatically shift the number into columns 10-12 of the field thereby right adjusting the data into the rightmost columns of the field. “RA ‘The MINUS RIGHT ADJUST key is used to cause the same uction as the RIGHT ADJUST key, but indicates ‘negative number amount field Input Hoppers Two inpur hoppers are provided. The primary hopper has the capacity to hold 600 cards and is used to hold blank ‘cards of punched cards. The secondary hopper has the capacity to hold 400 cards and is used to hold blank cards. ‘The HOPPER indicator will light when a card does not arrive atthe read station within a specified period of time ‘once a card feed has been initiated. This alert the operator to an empty hopper condition or a card miscfeed from the hopper. Output Stackers: Two output stackers with a capacity to hold 400 cards each are provided, Stacker | is normally used for single file ‘operations and stacker 2 is normally used for error cards and program cards. Cards are stacked, face forward, in proper ascending file sequence, When either stacker becomes full, the STACKER indicator will light to alert the operator to remove the cards from the full stacker. Data Recorder Desk ‘The movable keyboard can be adjusted on the spacious desk top for maximum comfort and convenience while providing sulfcient work space for documents from which eards are punched Visible Wait Station The 80 column card moves into the visible wait station after it has been released from the input hopper and read by the Data Recorder. The face ofthe card is almost totally visible to the operator when performing any Data Recorder func- tion, Four Program Levels ‘The Data Recorder is a programmable machine and provides four standard program storage areas for programs Prepared by the operator. A job may require the use of one program storage area or all of them, Four additional Program levels are available as an option. See Chapter 7. Print Edit (8010) ‘This nique feature permits the operator, under program control to edit the data to be printed on a card. A special memory area has been set aside to store PRINT EDIT Programs. See Chapter 3 Punch Suppress (8010) A special program area s provided for specifying columns in ‘which itis desired to suppress punching but still permit prin- ting at the top of the card for the suppressed columns. See Chapter 3. Blank Card Interfiling ‘This operation permits the operator to produce a deck of cards with blank card automatically interfiled behind each card. See Chapter 5. File Reproduction ‘This operation permits the operator to reproduce a card fle automatically. There are several variations. of card ‘reproduction as deseribed in Chapter 5. Interpreting (8010) This feature permits interpreting of pre-punched data. As the punches are read, the data is interpreted and printed slong the op edge of the card which correspond to the punched columns below. See Chapter 5 80 Column Card ‘An understanding of the 80 column card format and how information is coded in the card is necessary to fully master the operation of the Decision Data 8001 and 8010 Data Recorders. This section describes the 80 column card and the way data is recorded (punched or printed) on it by the 8001 or 8010 Data Recorder. Card Format and Information Coding Figure 1 shows an 80 column card. The card consists of 80 individual columas; each containing twelve rows or punch positions, The 80 column card can have 80 characters Punched into it. ‘80 Column Card Terms AA special vocabulary has evolved to provide communication terms for those people working with the 80 column card and the Data Recorder. Some of the more common terms and their definitions, as used in this manual, are presented in Figure 1.2COLUMN (LEADING) Dee 12 EDGE DECTSTON DATA COMPUTER CONPORATTON bid mer war ona one 12 angan222244 99Qo939992909939833333333893892998399899939999999999 Ace ececa teen naecl jenna azz7z227227222222222922222 70MM 2222222922282 22922822222 SssssPosssssssssBsssssBssssssssssssBssssssssssssBsssssssssss sessesnse COLUMNS: Figure 1.1. 80-Column Card TERM DEFINITION RECORDOR ‘A card which contains data relevant to one complete segment of information, (.e., A punched card containing UNIT RECORD: | employee's time card data for payroll information.

This chapter provides a description of each functional section and its respective location for operator reference ELECTRONICS CABINET The electronic circuitry controls the operation of the Data Recorder and is located, for the most part, inthe cabinet below the table top. It consists of the power supply, wiring, and logie control circuits. Three items of interest on the elec- tronics cabinet are shown in Figure 2-1; power ON/OFF switch, circuit breaker and chip bos, ON/OFF Switch This switch is pressed ON or OFF to apply power to, oF remove power from, the Data Recorder. When the power OPERATOR PANEL, STACKER ONE KEYBOARD switch is moved from the OFF position to the ON position, & general clear signal will clear the logic and clear all ‘memory areas to blank, Ifthe program control switch is in the PROG position, program level I will be selected for stor- ing of data and the keyboard will be set to UPPER SHIFT. Circuit Breaker A circuit breaker is located on the front caver to the let of the power switch. In the event the Data Recorder loses all power and the power switch is ON, the circuit breaker Stitch is pressed to restore the power. Chip Box Punched chad (or chips) from the cards fall into the chip box. Under average conditions the chip box holds the chad from one week of card punching. It should be emptied, however, as frequently as the Data Recorder usage dictates. VISIBLE WAIT STATION PRIMARY a HOPPER ‘SECONDARY HOPPER POWER ON/OFF AND CIRCUIT BREAKER CHIP BOX Figure 2.1. 8010 Interpreting Data RecorderMECHANISM ‘The mechanism is comprised of the electromechanical func- tional parts that are necessary for data recording: two input hoppers. a read station, a visible wait station, @ punch sta- tion, a print station (8010), two output slackers and a card ‘transport system, See Figure 2-2. Two Input Hoppers ‘The input consists of primary hopper which holds 600 cards and a secondary hopper which holds 400 cards. A hopper should not be loaded when cards are feeding from it Cards are placed in either hopper, face forward, with the ‘column I edge tothe left. The front card is always the first to feed from the primary hopper and the rear card i always the First to feed from the secondary hopper. Read Station ‘When Data Recorder operations begin, a card selected from one of the hoppers aulomatically moves through the read station where itis read column-by-column, Visible Wait Station After the card is read, it waits in the visible station where ‘almost all of the card surface is visible to the operator. The keying operation begins. As the operator keys data on the keyboard, itis stored in memory Punch Station When keying is completed, the card is released into the punch station For punching, During PUNCH operations, the card advances through the Punch station two columns at a time. The card slews over Fields that are not punched, fmmcano pari During VERIFY operations, the card moves through the punch station as far as column 81, The Verify punch is add- ed into column 81. See Figure 3-7. Print Station ‘The card moves from the punch station into the print station for printing (8010). All characters are printed along the top of the card; each character represents the data punched in the card column directly below it, Two Output Stackers ‘The Data Recorder releases the cards into the stackers face forward. There are two output stackers: Stacker | is normal- ly used for single file operations; stacker 2 for error cards and program cards. When either stacker becomes full, the STACKER indicator lights on the operator panel. See Chapter 6, Operator Recovery Procedures Note: Cards should never be removed from the stackers while cards are being fed from the input hoppers. Under certain conditions, the two stackers are capable of ‘operating in an overflow manner: When stacker | 1 full ‘cards will automatically feed into stacker 2. See Chapter 4, Stacker Overflow: Card Transport System ‘The card transport system moves each card through the mechanism. The card transport drive motor turns off when the indicators STACKER or FEED CHECK light (see Chapter 6, Operaior Recovery Procedures) of when the Keyboard has not been used for approximately 20 seconds, The transport motor drive automatically turns on again when the STACKER or FEED CHECK condition is cor- rected and the START switch is pressed, or when operations resume at the keyboard PRIMARY HOPPER (600 CARDS) PRINT.

Mechanism SchematicOPERATOR PANEL ‘This section describes the switches and indicators which con- ‘ol most of the major operations of the Data Recorder. Figure 2-3 illustrates the location ofthe various switches and indicators ‘Stop/Reset Switch ‘This switch serves two purposes: It resets error indicators ‘which light on the operator panel and stops the automatic Feeding of cards when the mode switch has been set for REPRODUCE or INTERPRET. Start Switch ‘This switch is primarily used to start PROG LOAD, RE- PRODUCE, INTERPRET or INTERSPERSED GANG PUNCH and INTERPRET operations. It also serves the purposes of: I)Contributing to operating the stackers in an overflow manner, and 2) to operating the input hoppers in hopper reverse condition: See Chapter 4, Stacker Overflow and Hopper Reverse. In addition itis used to initiate the ON-LINE mode, See Chapter 7, Interface. Mode Control Switch This rotary dial mode switch is used to select one of five modes of operation, as listed below. A second purpose is to ‘cause & mode clear. See Chapter 4, Mode Clear PROG LOAD Program Load is used when a program control card is to be read into a selected program storage area. PUNCH This mode is used to perform keypunching VERIFY This mode is used to verify Keypunched cards. REPRODUCE This mode is used when a card file is to be reproduced, INTERPRET (8010) This mode is used when pre-punched cards are tobe printed, Punch Suppress Switch (8010) ‘This spring-return toggle switch activates a PUNCH SUP- PRESS program previously loaded into a program memory 4 when the program control switch on the keyboard isin the PROG position. The PUNCH SUPPRESS indicator will light and punching of cards is prevented on a column-by- ‘column basis depending on the program contro Print Control Switch (8010) This rotary dial switch contains five dial positions and is used to select a type of print control PRINT This position is effective during the PUNCH, VERIFY (remade cards), REPRODUCE and INTERPRET modes of operation. When the PRINT position is set, the top ofthe card is printed with the characters as punched in the associated card columns below. 6 See paint conraos ewiren—] MODE CONTROL swiTcH Figure 2.3. 8001, 8010 Operator PanelVER PRINT ‘The Verify Print is selected when Key verifying unprinted cards. Data punched or verified by the Data Recorder is printed on the upper portion of the card with the characters as punched in the associated card columns below. PRINT EDIT When a PRINT EDIT program has been loaded into program storage, this postion is selected to control printing fon a columa-by-column bass. VER PRINT EDIT ‘The Very Print Edit position performs the same function as PRINT EDIT when key verifying unprinted cards, OFF This position is selected to prevent printing on cards. Master/Detall Switch (Optional Feature 8001, 8010) This switch is used to activate the Interspersed feature. See Chapter 7 for a description of this feature. ‘On-Line Switch (Optional Feature 8001, 8010) ‘This togele switch connects the Data Recorder to a com- puter interface and is activated by pushing the switeh to an up (ON-LINE) position. When it is OFF, the Data Recorder functions as 2 stand-alone machine. Program Revert Switch ‘This rotary switeh selects program levels | through 8 (5 thru 8 are optional) and includes 2 NONE position. When. this switch is set to a program number (level) and the "program control” switch on the keyboard isin the PROG. position, the program level selection will revert to the pro- ‘Bram originally selected by the program revert switch when- fever a card release function occurs. ‘The program revert switch, however, will be overridden ia program level is selected on the keyboard, and the column indicator displays any column within the last field used, or displays column 80. Zero Fill/Blank Fill Switch ‘The Zero Fill/Blank Fill switch is used to control punching in the leftmost columns ofa right adjusted field. When inthe ZERO FILL position, the Data Recorder will automatically insert zero punches in the leimost columns of a right ad- justed field during PUNCH mode. When in the BLANK FILL position, the columns will not be punched. They will remain blank. Column Indicator ‘This two-digit indicator displays the current position ofthe buffer storage area into which a character may be entered: Columns OF through 80, It displays zeroes (00) when the Data Recorder is performing automatic functions (PROG LOAD, REPRODUCE or INTERPRET mode) or waiting an instruction from the operator to fed a card into the visible wait station 24 Keyboard Shift Indicators ‘The white NUMERIC, UPPER, or ALPHA indicator, ‘when lighted, tells the operator what type of character the Data Recorder is ready to accept from the keyboard. If none are lighted, the keyboard is inactive, Program Level Indicators ‘These four white indicators display the program level that is active when the program control switch is in the PROG position. Ifnone light during machine operation, it indicates program control is not in effect. There are four standard program levels and an option available to obtain a total of Eiht. See Chapter 7, Optional Features. When program control is in effect: PROG | displays the indicator 1 PROG 2 displays the indicator 2 PROG 3 displays the indicator 3 PROG 4 displays the indicator 4 PROG § displays the indicators 1 & PROG 6 displays the indicators 2 & 3& 13 4 4 PROG 7 displays the indicators 3 & 4 PROG 8 displays the indicators 1, 3, & 4 Punch Suppress (8010) ‘This yellow indicator lights when the PUNCH SUPPRESS, toggle switch is activated to show that the PUNCH SUP- PRESS program storage area is in effect. It is reset by setting the program control switch in the OFF position (of by performing a mode clear. See Chapter 4, Mode Clear. Error ‘This ed indicator lights whenever a keyboard lockup occurs a a result of an operstor error condition.” Change This_yellow indicator lights. simultaneously with the ERROR indicator, during VERIFY mode after the second attempt is made to key a character into memory, This tells the operator an error condition exists and the data must be changed. ‘The ERROR/RESET key is depressed and the next keystroke performed causes a column of data to be changed in the input-memory (either after the second verification attempt or after the VER CORR key has been depressed) * Reverity During VERIFY mode, when an error in the card has been detected and a column or field of the buffer memory has been changed, the yellow REVERIFY indicator lights. This tells the operator io REVERIFY the corrected columa or field before resuming normal VERIFY operations.* Stacker ‘This red indicator lights when a stacker full condition oc- curs, This tells the operator to stop machine operations and remove the cards from the stacker. When 2 STACKER jam ‘occurs, the STACKER and FEED CHECK indicators light. This tells the operator to stop operations and clear a card jams "See Chapter 6, Operator Recovery Procedures.Hopper ‘The red HOPPER indicator lights when the Data Recorder attempts to feed a card from an empty hopper or when @ imis-feed of a card occurs from either hopper.” Feed Check ‘The FEED CHECK indicator lights when the machine cover is lifted or when a jam or mis-feed in the punch, print or slacker areas occurs. When the FEED CHECK and the STACKER indicators light at the same time, it indicates @ card jam in the stacker area.* Read Check This ced indicator lights when an off-punched card has been detected during a card tead operation.* Ready (Optional Interface Feature 8001, 8010) This green indicator lights when the Data Recorder is inter- faced to a computer and the ON-LINE function has been activated, It indicates that the Data Recorder is on-line with the computer and is ready to receive commands from the computer through the interface. See Chapter 7, Interface. "See Chapter 6, Operator Recovery Procedures Punch Check (Optional interface Feature 8001, 8010) ‘This red indicator is active only when the Data Recorder is interfaced to a computer and the ON-LINE switch has been Activated. It lights when an error has been detected at the post-punch read station.* KEYBOARD SWITCHES AND KEYS The keybourd is a primary means of data entry, It consists of three frequently used switches, data keys and function keys, ‘The three keyboard switches are mounted in the upper left portion of the keyboard. These two-position toggle switches are ON jin the up position ‘The 35 data keys displayed on the keyboard consist of alpha, numeric and special characters. Figure 2-4 displays the Data Recorder keyboard. (a) PROG ‘The Program switch, when in the PROG position permits the operator to load & program and/or to utilize a program. Programming will be ignored by the Data Recorder when this switch is OFF. OMOCMO-TOO FEET OIG WIG] lee] WOW OOOMOOAEEIA d kK | Figure 2.4. Data Recorder Keyboard(b) AUTO REL ‘The Automatic Release switch is used in the PUNCH or VERIFY modes only and is normally left in the AUTO REL position, It causes a completed catd to be released into ‘an output stacker and a card to be fed from the input hopper into the visible wait station, When OFF, the REL (release) key must be manually depressed to perform this function. (c) AUTOSK/DUP The Automatic Skipping/ Duplicating switch is used with the PROG switch and must be in the AUTO SK /DUP posi- tion when automatic (programmed) skipping or duplicating is desied. The switch i turned OF, to punch the first card of a job after the program has been loaded into a storage level. This allows the operator to key the data to be ‘duplicated into memory. After the first card is punched and released, the switch i et in the AUTO SK/DUP position to initiate the programmed automatic skipping and duplicating of data, (d) SPACE BAR ‘The space bar is used to punch or verify a single space in the record, It also causes the columa indicator to advance tothe next column in the card, (e) UPPER SHIFT and LOWER SHIFT The UPPER SHIFT key represents the numeric characters and the special characters on the Keyboard which are located fon the upper portion of each key. The LOWER SHIFT key represents the alphabetic characters which are located on the lower portion of each key, When the PROG switch is OFF and the keyboard is active, the depression of the UPPER SHIFT or the LOWER SHIFT key puts the keyboard into that specific shift. I remains in that shift until overridden by another shift com- ‘mand, (An optional feature, which can be installed upon re- (quest, is available to automaticaly return the keyboard to LOWER SHIFT when the UPPER SHIFT key is released), ‘When the program control switch isin the PROG position, and the keyboard is active, depression of either shift key ‘overrides the programmed Keyboard shift for as long as itis held down, Other uses of the LOWER SHIFT and UPPER SHIFT keys are described in Chapter 4, Supplemental Operations. (f) BACKSPACE One depression ofthe backspace key causes the machine to backspace one column and decrease the column indicator by fone when in PUNCH mode, When itis held down, backspacing continues until the key is released or until the beginning of the field is reached, When an error is encountered while in VERIFY mode and the PROG switch is OFF, the backspace key can be used to reverfy a single corrected column if depressed immediately aller the column is changed. If this procedure is adhered 10 for each columa changed, reverification of the entire card is rot necessary. See Chapter 3, Reverify. 26 (g) AUX DUP ‘When the program control switch isin the PROG position, depression of the Auxiliary Duplicate key causes the data stored in a specific field of the Auailiary Duplicate memory tw be entered into the buffer memory for punching into the card. See Chapter 3, Storing Auxiliary Duplicate Data. (h) SKIP ‘When the program control switch isin the PROG position, a single depression of this key causes the machine to {space over columns until the fist column ofthe next fea is encountered, When OFF, the machine will space column- bby-column until the SKIP key is released. (i) FLD ERASE “The Field Erase key causes backspacing field-by-field when the program control switch is in the PROG position. When OFF, depression of this key causes backspacing to occur colurna-by-column until the columa indicator OI is reached. (i) HOME Depression ofthe Home key returns the column indicator to (01 (home) position. In addition, it causes any stored Program change request to be cleared out. Tt also causes an automatic skip or duplicate instruction, programmed in column O1, to be inhibited. (ky REL If the automatic release switch on the keyboard is in the AUTO REL position, the REL key, when depressed once, will cause the Data Recorder to automatically skip to the end of a card (if it was im any column other than 00), re- lease the card into an output stacker, and feed another card from an input hopper into the visible wait station, Ifthe automatic release swith is in the OFF position, de- pressing the REL key the first time will cquse the recorder to automatically skip to the end of a card (if it was in any column other than 00).

RIGHT ADJUST ‘The keyboard PROG switch must be ON for the Right Adjust key to function, When in PUNCH mode, the RIGHT ADJUST key is used to move the data in a partially filled field to the rightmost columns of that field. See Chapter 1, Right Adjust. 1 thecolumn indicator isin the first column of afield, the RIGHT ADJUST key is ignored, hence, at least one character (or blank) must be keyed into a field before it can be right ad- justed, Any blank positions which have been keyed will be retained when the RIGHT ADJUST key is used, The let- ‘most positions of the field are filled with blanks or zeroes depending on the position of the ZERO FILL/BLANK FILL switch. See Chapter 4, Zero Fil/ Blank Fill When in VERIFY mode, the RIGHT ADJUST key is used to exit from a field which has been programmed as a right adjust field. Failure to use the RIGHT ADJUST key at the ‘correct time will cause the ERROR indicator to light. See Chapter 3: Keypunching Right Adjust or -RA and Verifying Right Adjust or -RA. (m) -RA ‘The Minus Right Adjust key right adjusts data in a field in the same manner as the RIGHT ADJUST key. It also causes a credit overpunch (an II-punch) to punch in the last ‘column of the field to indicate a negative amount when in PUNCH mode. When in VERIFY mode, the -RA key is used to exit from a field which has been programmed as a right adjust field. Failure to use the -RA key atthe correct time will cause the ERROR indicator to light. See Chapter 3, Keypunching Right Adjust or -RA and Verifying Right Adjust or -RA. (n) PROG I, PROG 2, PROG 3, PROG4 Depression of one ofthe program level keys selects which of the four program storage areas is to be used to store program. The program control switch must be in the PROG Position when program storage is requested; otherwise, the Fequest will be ignored, (0) VER CORR ‘The Verify Correct key is only active in the VERIFY mode. When iti desirous to change the contents of a field during verification, depression of this key automatically puts the Data Recorder into the PUNCH mode on a field basis, backspacing to the first column of that field. The Data Recorder requires the corrected field to be reverified before continuing normal VERIFY operations forthe first column Of the next fel. (p) READ “The Read key is used in VERIFY mode to feed the frst card to be verified from the hopper. When the key is depressed, the card is fed from the primary hopper, ead, and stopped in the visible wait station for operator verification, With the automatic release switch in the AUTO REL posi- tion and the column indicator at other than column 00, 4 depression of the READ key causes the card in the visible wait station (a card which is not a read card) to be ad- vanced into. the punch station, punched with the data manually entered (and automaticaly entered if the AUTO ‘SK/DUP and the PROG switches are in the AUTO SK/ DUP and PROG positions), then printed at. the print station and stacked in stacker #1. A card will then be fed from the selected input hopper, read, fed through the punch and print stations without punching or print- ing and stacked in stacker 42 (unless overflow mode of stacker control is active). The information from this card is placed in duplicate storage without editing and is avail- able for subsequent punch operations. A card is then fe from the selected hopper, not read, and stoped in the visible wait station. The column indicator wil be at column O1. If the AUTO SK/DUP and the PROG switches are in the AUTO SK/DUP and PROG positions, programmed SK/ DUP fields will be recognized. With the automatic release switch in the OFF position and the column indicator at column 00, a depression of the READ key causes the card in the visible wait station (card which is read card) to be fed through the punch and. print stations without punching or printing and stacked in stacker #2 (unless overflow mode of stacker control is active). The information from this card is placed in duplicate storage without editing and is available for subsequent punch operations. A card is then fed from the selected hopper, read, and stopped in the visible wait station. The column indicator will be at column 00. With the automatic release switch in the OFF position and the column indicator at other than column'00, the First depression of the READ key causes the Data Re- corder to skip to the end of the card (column count 00), ‘The second depression of the READ key causes the card in the visible wait station (a card which is not a read card) to be advanced into the punch station, punched with the data_manually. entered (and automatically entered if the AUTO SK/DUP and PROG switches are in the AUTO SK/DUP and PROG position), then printed at the print station and stacked in stacker #1. A card will then be fed from the selected hopper, read, and stopped in the visible wait station, The column’ indi- ator will be at column 00, (a) DUP ‘When the program control switch isin the PROG position, depression of the duplicating key automatically inserts the same information that was in the same columa(s) of the previous card into the buffer memory for the new card. The data is transferred a field at atime fora single depression of the key. It transfers data until the key is released. When not under program control, it transfers data column-by-column until the Key is released. (r) MULT PUNCH The Mult Punch key inhibits the column indicator from advancing; hence two, or even more characters may be entered into the buffer memory in the same columna position, The resulting combination will be punched (or verified). MULT PUNCH also overrides the programmed keyboard shift forcing UPPER SHIFT. Chapter 3 discusses other Junctions using the MULT PUNCH key, (5) ERROR RESET ‘This key is used to reset indicators lighted on the operator control panel when the Data Recorder is in PUNCH of VERIFY mode.3/operator PROCEDURES GENERAL This chapter will primarily discuss the use of the Dats Recorder in key mode operation: PUNCH and VERIFY. In addition, it wil describe supplementary functions performed by ‘the’ operator such as PRINT EDIT, PUNCH. SUPPRESS and storing AUXILIARY DUPLICATE DATA in memory. A sample job is used to illustrate the PUNCH and VERIFY ‘operations. Although in most instances a program card will already be prepared for the job to be performed, the chapter example will assume that none exists so that the operator will se how a program card can be created, PROGRAMMING THE DATA RECORDER ‘The key mode operation requires a program card for most jobs. The operator prepares the program by punching a card with special codes that representa set of instructions or alist of events to occur for each card processed during. the Keypunch operation. See Figure 3-1 ‘The operator enters the program card into one of the four Program storage areas when needed for keypunch control Nowe: A program code chart is provided for operator use during actual operation and ts located under the front cover of the Data Recorder as illusirated in Figure 3-2.

Example Punched and Printed CardKeypunching the Job The routine entry of data begins after the first card of the 4job has been completed. Now that the fields programmed to automatically duplicate have been keyed with the data to be duplicated, set the AUTO SK/DUP switch in the AUTO SK/DUP position. ‘Since the frst six columns of the card ate programmed to duplicate the date, the column indicator displays 07 for the sample job. This isthe first column to be Key entered. As the data is keyed, it is stored into the buffer memory. When entry is completed or 80 columns of data have been entered, the Data Recorder punches and prints (8010) the data into the card. The card is automatically released into stacker | and a blank card is fed through the read station and stopped im the visible wait station for keypunching the next time card, Keypunching Right Adjust or -RA Any partial field of data ean be right adjusted, or minus Fight adjusted and punched as a negative amount, during PUNCH mode by use of the RIGHT ADJUST or —RA. keys, The RIGHT ADJUST key is used to cause the DATA Re- ccorder to shifl the data in x partially filled field into the rightmost columns of that field The -RA key is used to perform the same function as the RIGHT ADJUST key. In addition, it causes the Data Recorder to automatically insert an II-punch over the last digit entry of @ partially filled field to indicate a negative amount When a partial field of data is to be right adjusted or minus right adjusted, the following steps are performed: 1. Key the data into the field beginning with the first column of the Feld 2. Press the appropriate key, RIGHT ADJUST or —RA. Ia field to be right adjusted contains keyed entry in every column of the field, this represents a full field: therefore, it is mot necessary to depress the RIGHT ADJUST key When a full eld of data must indicate negative amount, the —RA key cannot be used, The following steps are performed: |. Key the data into the field with the exception of the last digit, 2. Hold the MULT PUNCH key down and key the last digit and an il-punch (—Key). Release the MULT. PUNCH key, Note: Any columns within a RIGHT ADJUST or -RA ‘field which have been keyed with blanks will be retained. ‘Also the lefimost columns of the field which have not been keyed will remain blank uniess the ZERO FILL/BLANK FILL switch is in the ZERO FILL position. When set in the ZERO FILL position, the Data Recorder will auto- ‘matically fill the lefomost blank columns of the field with zero punches. The switch is set in the ZERO FILL position ‘after’ performing Step 4. in PREPARING TO KEY. PUNCH. If zero punches are not to be inserted, (leftmost columns to remain blank), the switch remains in the BLANK FILL position VERIFICATION Verification is a key mode operation similar to keypunch- ing. Its performed to check the accuracy of cards that have been keypunched by re-keying the data punched in each ‘card. The operator uses the same source document to verify the cards that was used to keypunch the eards. When a card has been correctly verified, the Data Recorder punches two holes in column 81 of the card to signify that the card hhas been verified as correct. When a new card is created ‘during verification to correct error conditions in the original card it contains only one verify hole in column 81 of the card. See Figure 3-7, VERIFY HOLE IN ALL CARDS VERIFIED AND NOT REMADE: VERIFY HOLE IN ALL VERIFIED CARDS: Figure 3. Location of Verify PunchesThe Verity Program Control Card ‘The same program card used to keypunch the deck of cards may also be used to verify the cards with two exceptions 1. Right Adjusted fields. 2. A Self-Check Number field not right adjusted. ‘A new program control card must be prepared when either fof these conditions exist since the same punch code (3- punch) used in PUNCH mode to identify a Sel-Checking Number fields also used in VERIFY mode to identify those fields which have been right adjusted. (As discussed in Keypunching Right Adjust, -RA, any field to be right ad- justed during PUNCH mode is manually performed by use of the Keyboard keys, RIGHT ADJUST or -RA). ‘Therefore, the following is performed to permit verification of fields which have been right adjusted during PUNCH ‘mode and to permit verification ofa Self-Checking Number field which has not been right adjusted. Prepare the program control card using the same punch codes for each field as used in PUNCH mode with the exception ofthe following: 1. Code the right adjusted field(s) with @ 3-punch in the t column of the field and complete the field with FIELD DEFINITION 12-punches. 2. Code the Self-Checking Number fleld which has not been right adjusted with FIELD DEFINITION 12- punches in every column but the first.

Motor time- ‘out merely miminizes wearing of the mechanical parts of recorder. It does not affect operationmf the Data Re- corder as there is no loss of the data that has been entered. ‘The motor will automatically restart as soon as he use of the Data Recorder resumes MODE CLEAR 'A mode clear is performed to clear the Data Recorder of previous instructions received from the operator. The Data Recorder is cleared by rotating the mode switch from one setting to another, ‘Mode Clear is also used to recover from certain error con- ditions. It causes the Data Recorder to complete a cycle ‘which may have been terminated early because of an error. Mode Clear should be used as a general recovery operation to reset the Data Recorder cycle, STACKER OVERFLOW During the PUNCH or REPRODUCE mode, itis possible to direct stacker | and stacker 2 to act in an overflow manner. All cards punched oF reproduced will first be re- leased into stacker 1; when stacker 1 is full, cards will automatically be released into stacker 2. The overflow co dition can also be used during Interspersed operations when both master and detail cards are stacked (merged) in the same stacker or when interfling reproduced cards or blank ‘cards within a punched card file, Hold the MULT PUNCH key down and press the START switch {0 cause the overflow condition to occur ‘The Data Recorder is reset to normal stacker operation by performing a mode clear. ‘STACK MASTER AND DETAIL CARDS During the Interspersed operation, master cards are norm- ally released into stacker I and devail cards are released into stacker 2. When both master and detail cards are to bee released (merged) into stacker 1, hold the MULT PUNCH key down and then press the START switch. Now, when stacker 1 is full, card overflow will automatically goto stacker 2, Perform a mode clear to reset the Data Recorder to normal stacker selection LOADING THE HOPPERS. |.

The Sell-Checking features permit detection of ‘most such mistakes before the card is punched. Certain kinds of numbers lend themselves to self-checking. Account numbers and part numbers are two examples of numbers that can be made self-checking. At the time the number is created, the originator assigns a singledigit number to the basic number; the single-digit number is called the check digit and becomes the units (low order) position ofthe self- checking number. The originator, or possibly a computer, determines the check-digit by using a formulae to calculate the basic number. Mod 10 Self-Checking Number (Feature 1023) und Mod 11 Self-Checking Number (Feature 1024) have different formulae as described in the paragraph, Calculating the Check Digit Punching Self-Checking Numbers A field containing self-checking numbers is programmed with a 3punch in the Girst column of that field in the program control card. The sel-checking feature is active only in the PUNCH mode. When a card containing self- checking numbers has been correctly keyed, it will receive an ‘OK punch. The OK punch isan I1-punch in column 81. See Figure 7-1. 14 number does not pass the sel-checking test, (che last digit of the number keyed does not match the check digit that the machine has calculated), the ERROR in- icator lights and the keyboard locks. |. Press the ERROR RESET key. (The ERROR indicator turns off, the column indicator displays the first column ‘of the sef-checking field and the keyboard unlocks) 2. Reckey the number. (Ifthe ERROR condition is a result of a mis-key from the operator, the record can be com- pleted normally and the card will receive the OK punch). 3. Ifthe ERROR indicator lights again and the operator is satisfied that no keying errors were made, it can be ‘assumed that the number written on the source document Press ERROR RESET. Press the SKIP key and complete the record. ‘The card will not receive the OK punch and the field that would have contained the selfchecking number will be blank. 7. Separate the card and its source document from the rest of the work so they can be corrected. Veritying Self-Checking Numbers ‘A. 3-punch used in PUNCH mode to identify a Self ‘Checking. Number field is also used in VERIFY mode to identify right adjusted fields. Therefore, the same program ‘control cannot be used in VERIFY mode unless the Self ‘Checking Number field has been right adjusted during PUNCH mode, If the Self-Checking Number field has not been right ad- justed, a new program control card is prepared for VERIFY mode using the same punch codes as used in PUNCH mode withthe exception of the field containing the Self-Checking Number.
