[GreenKeys] Punch issue

[Daniel Jones]

Yes they are both chadless.  The TD has never had an issue and doesn’t with the tape from the 192.  

I didn’t think about your hint with the sprocket feed. I will check that out this week and see if there is a difference.

When I punch identical tapes at the same time using the 192 (Compact Reperf) and the 253 from the KSR the tapes look identical but the 192 tape reprints fine when fed through the TD and the 253 tape again prints out random stuff.
