Step 1: Monitor Calibration

Before starting please adjust the brightness of your monitor so that the duck is barely visible in the picture below.

Step 2: Input Preparation

  1. Gather punched cards for data submission.
  2. Ensure all cards comply with the following standards:
    • Standard 80-column cards only.
    • Cards must be flat, unbent, and free of all tears, smudges, or stains.
    • Cards must align exactly with the system-approved punch pattern from Appendix B of the operator’s manual.
  3. Label cards using the following protocol:
    • First card: “HEADER” written in pencil at the top margin.
    • Subsequent cards: Sequential numbering in columns 73-80 on the back of each card. (Ensure proper alignment and spacing.)

Step 3: Data Entry on Cards

  1. Write your personal data manually in pencil on a blank reference card before using the punch machine.
  2. Follow this column layout for input into each card:
    • Columns 1-6: ID number or alias (numbers only; letters may cause “Stack Spillage Error”)
    • Columns 7-12: Last name (truncated to 6 characters, automatically capitalized)
    • Columns 13-18: First name (ditto; no special characters)
    • Columns 19-24: Account type (choose from “USER,” “ADMIN,” or “GUEST”)
  3. Mark unused columns with spaces to prevent system confusion.

Step 4: Card Reader Submission

  1. Insert your punch card stack one at a time into the card reader.
  2. Each card must be read precisely. Listen for the “clunk-clunk” sound to confirm successful processing.
  3. If the system displays an error message such as “CARD MISALIGNMENT,” immediately remove and reinsert the affected card after aligning it with both hands.
  4. Avoid inserting cards during office hours or disruptions may occur. The system processor operates most efficiently during evening and nighttime shifts.

Step 5: System Verification

  1. Upon submission, please wait 12-24 hours for system response.
  2. Verification results will display on your terminal via teletype output.
  3. Any detected errors (e.g., “COLUMN 22: INVALID CHARACTER”) will require a full resubmission. Correct and re-punch faulty cards as needed.

Special Notices

  • Humidity Concerns: Card reader sensitivity may increase in high-humidity environments. Store your cards in a protective container before submission.
  • Duplicate Card Warning: Submit only one set of cards per account to prevent duplication errors. Duplicate cards may jam the reader and require technician intervention.
  • Data Submission Time: All input is queued for processing starting at 23:00, with results available after the next batch cycle.

In Case of Errors:

  • Hole Punch Misalignment: Recreate the affected card using a fresh physical template.
  • Card Jam in Reader: Notify the technician on duty and provide a witness statement of the incident in triplicate.
  • Terminal Freeze: Restart the system manually by toggling the console switch OFF/ON (with a 5-second pause).

Thank you for your patience as we process your account! We are proud to say our system has successfully handled thousands of accounts since its debut in [REDACTED]. Your compliance ensures its continued operation well into the future!

Password Requirements:

Please ensure that your password complies with the following rules to guarantee the security of your account:

  1. Length:
    • Must be exactly 18 characters in length, no more, no less. This ensures compatibility with our system’s password storage format.
  2. Permitted Characters:
    • Passwords may include lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9).
    • Uppercase letters, special characters (! @ # % & *), and non-alphanumeric symbols (e.g. \, /, or ") are not permitted at this time, as these characters can interfere with password lookup operations.
  3. Avoid Common Phrases:
    • Passwords must not include any common English phrases such as “password”, “letmein”, or “123456”. Our system automatically flags these entries as being potentially too “predictable.”
    • Additionally, avoid any terms related to SQL queries, including but not limited to:
      • union select
      • drop database
      • create table
      • --
  4. Character Restrictions:
    • Passwords must not contain any numeric sequences that could resemble database primary key IDs (e.g., avoid 12345, 98765, or any repeating integers).
  5. Case Sensitivity:
    • Due to limitations in our password validation software, all passwords are not case-sensitive. Please do not rely on capitalization for differentiation in your password.
  6. Prohibited Substrings:
    • Passwords that incidentally contain system-reserved terms may cause processing errors. Please avoid the following substrings:
      • user_id
      • select * from
      • INSERT INTO
    • Certain words related to internal authentication mechanisms are also blocked to prevent system conflicts. For example, avoid terms like:
      • plaintextPassword
      • token123
      • easydecrypt
      • Username: pi, Password:raspberry
  7. Unique Password Clause:
    • Please do not use the same password you’ve used on any other website, especially if it exceeds two characters in difference. We avoid cross-referencing encrypted password variants to speed up the login process.
  8. Hash Rate Limitations:
    • Passwords that require excessive hashing (i.e., compute times exceeding 50ms) might not be supported, and may need to be simplified.
  9. Certain Nouns:
    • Avoid animal-related nouns such as duck, goose, mallard, feather, or any terms involving avian species, as these words may result in high server load during login attempts.
  10. Preventing Hash Collisions:
  • To avoid potential hash collisions, we strongly recommend against using passwords that are overly similar to those of other users.
  • Our system occasionally experiences unpredictable behavior if passwords are identical or off by one character with other accounts. If a message like “Password already in use” appears, simply modify your entry by one symbol.

Password Example (Invalid):

  • myRootPassword'; DROP TABLE users;--
    Error: This password conflicts with system-level queries.
  • passwordHash123
    Error: Password already in use by another user.
  • Duck!123456
    Error: Special characters detected.

Additional Notes:

  • All passwords are stored securely and should not be shared. If you forget your password, you will receive an email with your existing password sent in plaintext for easy reference.
  • In the event of a forgotten password, you will have 48 hours to use your original password before the system discards it and generates a new one for convenience.

Important: If your selected password causes issues during login (such as logging into another user’s account by mistake), please contact our support team, and we will assist in resolving any confusion.
