• The time table program provides the following functions:
•Automatic switching between black and red printing
The two-color printing system makes it possible to easily see an
employee's in and out time.
•Automatic activation of an external time signal
The unit can be programmed to externally output a signal when
it's time to start or quit, or for breaks.
•Automatic switching among six print columns (Columns 1-6)
The auto-switching function of a column to print records in
prevents punching failure or error.

• It has three selectable pay periods : weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

• The monthly card automatically senses the front or back of the card,
therefore assuring no erroneous date printing.
• If the closing date for payroll processing does not fall on the end
of a month, the unit can be set to any desired closing date.
• The day advance time function makes it possible to print out on
the same line of a time card for the previous working day even
when leaving the office after midnight.
• An easy-to-see analog clock is provided on its front for users'
convenience.
• User-friendly operation and easy setting enhance users' comfort.

4. DAILY OPERATIONS
Once the AC line cord is plugged into the outlet, the unit can be used immediately as
basic operation has been pre-set at the factory, including the time and the closing date.

See "3 BEFORE USING THE TIME RECORDER".

It is easy to operate the unit. Just insert a time card. The card is then automatically
pulled in, printed and then ejected.

Do not let any metallic object get into the slot, including paper clips. Do not
forcefully push in a card, either. These may cause the unit to malfunction.

If any setting needs to be changed, such as for a closing date or other items, See "5.
SETTING".

The unit is designed to print in black on the first column when no time table program
is set. Usually it is necessary to set the time table program in order to automatically
print colors and to change columns to print records in. For a temporary change of a
column, however, manual operation is also available: just push the button for any
desired column before inserting a time card.
The button for the column selected lights up.
