IF you can do a string of RYs without error then the reader/punch/printer is good. The gig is to punch a length of RYs long enough to loop into the reader and then read it on local. If it's a good machine it will keep punching RYs and if in need of adjustment or cleaning... the rys get translated to something else. Allison
