13. OTHER OPERATIONS RELATING TO IN-LINE SERVICE
EO1-11152
13.2 Suspending
13- 2
13.2 Suspending
This is to be operated for the purpose of suspending an in-line service being executed, when any terminals
remain unserviced, and of going on to a “RETRY”, “INCOMPLETE ENDING”, or “CANCEL” operation as the next
step.
OPERATION ON MASTER TERMINAL: (Same Lock positions as the in-line job being performed)
Depress
[ITEM CORR]
until the key-in tone is generated.
DESCRIPTION:
The SUSPENDING operation is allowed any time during an in-line service procedure.
If suspending by the
[ITEM CORR]
key is accepted, the Master Terminal’s display indicates the number of
unserviced terminals. (SUSPENDING of a service execution of one terminal is not possible). Now a
“RETRY” or “INCOMPLETE ENDING” operation can be selected as the next step. (When no key-in
operations are made in about 10 seconds after a SUSPENDING operation, a RETRY process will
automatically be executed.)
13.3 Retry
This is to be operated for the purpose of re-attempting the in-line service that has been stopped due to “TIME
OUT” or that has just been suspended by “SUSPENDING” operation.
OPERATION ON MASTER TERMINAL: (Same Lock positions as the in-line job being performed)
Depress
[AT/TL]
.
DESCRIPTION:
The in-line service will again be attempted to the unserviced terminals. This operation is possible any
number of times after a “TIME OUT” condition or a “SUSPENDING” operation as long as any terminals
remain unserviced. (When no key-in operations are made in about 10 seconds after a SUSPENDING
operation, a RETRY process will automatically be executed.)
13.4 Incomplete Ending
This is to be operated to abandon services to unserviced terminals, and ends the in-line service with the services
to service-completed terminals only.
OPERATION ON MASTER TERMINAL: (Same Lock positions as the in-line job being performed)
Depress
[NS]
.
DESCRIPTION:
If an in-line service being executed does not seem to end normally due perhaps to some abnormal status of
any Satellite Terminals after “TIME OUT”, “SUSPENDING”, and/or “RETRY” operations, the
[NS]
key can be
depressed to end the in-line service with only the service-completed terminals serviced and the unserviced
terminals remaining unserviced. In case of In-line X or Z Report Collection sequences, reports of only the
service-completed terminals will be issued.
As part of the print out, the Store/Register No. of the terminal and its status will be printed.
