If
the
feed
cycle
begins
while
the previous
card
is
being stacked, a
stacker
transport jam occurring in this time
interval
causes the
reader
to
stop
the
transport motor, switch to
"not
operational",
light the
FAULT
indicator,
and signal "unusual
end"
to
the
controlling
system.

If

If

reader
turns off transport motor, switches
to

state,
and lights

("unusual

in this
case).
