SPECIAL PROCEDURES
At the end of the running of a program, the typed log
may be removed from the typewriter and returned to
the programmer along with any appropriate operator
comments pertaining to it. An alternate procedure
is
that it may be retained
at
the site for record purposes
or removed only at the end of a shift.
ERRORS AND OPERATOR CORRECTIVE
ACTION
Operator Errors
If the operator neglects to do any of the following, the
typewriter will fail to operate properly:
1.
Turn the typewriter on.
2.
Set the margins and tabs correctly.
3.
Set line space lever for correct spacing.
Program Errors
Three of the five possible types of program errors
cause the typewriter to be 'hung
up.'
The term 'hung
up' means that the program stops at the time of a
TYP command, the typewriter
is
inoperative, and the
required
typeout does not occur. Table I11 describes
five types of program errors, their meaning, and the
recommended operator action. It will be seenfrom the
table that the error indication
is
the same for three
different types of program errors. It will also be seen
that hitting any alphabetic key will correct 'three of
the five types of errors. In all cases, notify the pro-
grammer of the errors in
his
program.
