Others have tried to explain this to you, but you don't want to listen.

On the 1401, there were 3 areas of memory dedicated to card and print I/O.

A READ instruction caused a single card to be input through the 1402 read/punch
and the data values from the columns of the card to be placed into locations
1 through 80.  I don't care if you want to faff around and think of the
electromechanical and electronic manipulations going on as "programming"; they
were not available to the actual code-writing programmer, who simply issued the
READ instruction in her program.

A PUNCH instruction caused the contents of locations 101 through 180 to be sent
to the punch side of the 1402, with electronic and electromechanical
manipulations to turn the internal six-bit BCD data into Hollerith codes on
cards.  None of those are available to the programmer.

A PRINT instruction caused the contents of locations 201 through 332 to be sent
to the 1403 printer, again with electronic and electromechanical manipulations
of the BCD data to cause appropriate hammers to strike appropriate slugs on the
print train as required.  None of those are available to the programmer.

And note that those locations are not changeable.  The programmer cannot write
code to print from locations 1269 through 1401 directly; if the desired output
is located there, a MOVE instruction addressing locations 1401 as source and
332 as destination is required, after a SET WOR MARK instruction referencing
location 1269 to that the MOVE will know where to stop.

IT IS ALL HARDWARE LOGIC.  Your insistence on calling hardware "programming" is
simply silly.

Just stop.
