Find complete connection instructions in the TQ600 User Manual on page 46.

Step 6: Record employee ngerprint templates on terminal

If your employees will be using biometric ngerprint terminals to clock in/out, enroll the
employees’ ngerprints. Print an Employee Prole report using the timeQplus Administrator
Reports window to obtain a list of the PINs assigned to each employee. Be sure the PINs you
use when enrolling the ngerprints exactly match the PINs assigned to each employee in the

timeQplus software.

timeQplus Biometric users

Refer to the TQ600 User Manual on page 13 for more informa­tion on enrollment.

Step 7: Enroll ngerprint templates in timeQplus software

If your employees will be using biometric ngerprint terminals to clock in and out, use
the timeQplus Administrator > Employees window to associate each employee’s record
in the timeQplus software with the ngerprint template you enrolled at the terminal.

Repeat this process for each employee.

Select the employee from the list on the screen and click the ENROLL TEMPLATE
button. The software will locate the ngerprint template and associate it with that
employee’s record.

If you have already enrolled the employee’s ngerprint but receive a message indicating
the employee’s ngerprint has not yet been enrolled, check for a mismatch between
the PIN assigned to that employee and the PIN associated with that employee’s
ngerprint template.

Step 8: Assign employees to terminals

If your employees will be using proximity badge or biometric terminals
for clocking in and out, use the timeQplus Administrator Terminals
window to verify or assign employees to specic terminal(s).

ONE TERMINAL

Assign all employees to terminal. Any employee not assigned to the
terminal will not be able to use the terminal for recording punches and
will have to use the PC to clock in and out.

MULTIPLE TERMINALS

Each employee can be assigned to one or more terminals. Assigning an

employee to only one terminal will force that employee to use only that

terminal for clocking in and out. Assigning an employee to multiple
terminals allows the employee to use any of the assigned terminals for
recording punch transactions.

Employees not assigned to a terminal will not be able to use that terminal
for recording punch transactions.

Step 9: Start recording time

Your timeQplus system is now ready to record employee time. Your
employees may begin clocking in and out.

Step 10: Install on Client PC’s

If you have a network version you can now install timeQplus client

versions on additional PC’s.
