If you live in Arizona, Hawaii, parts of Indiana, or any other area that does not use DST, refer to this document’s DST settings instruction for details regarding disabling the DST function.

Program Modes
The PIX-21 has two programming modes, Normal and Quick. Either mode can be accessed by simply entering a specific 4-digit code.
The Quick Program Mod allows the user to change the following features: date, time, daylight saving time start/end dates, and print style. To enter the Quick Program Mode use the appropriate code listed in Chart 1, which correlates to the print style of your choice.
In the Normal Program Mode, the user can change the following features: Date, Time, Daylight saving time begin/end dates, print style, language, print direction, auto print, and leading zeros. Addionally, there is a diagnostic menu to test the LCD segments, reset the number of punches, and clear memory. To enter the Normal programming mode, use the code “8088” and follow the instructions to program all the items. Refer to page 9 to enter the Normal mode code.
For a quick setup of a particular item in the PIX-21, use the alternate code, which correlates to the print style of choice. (See Chart 1 on page 5.) The “Quick” mode shortens the print style setup. Refer to page 6 to enter the Quick Program mode.
Quick Program Mode
1. Plug In the Power Cord and Make a Test Print
Insert a piece of paper or time card into the PIX-21. The clock automatically will print a 4-digit YEAR, MONTH, DATE, and TIME with AM or PM.
Note: The PIX-21 will automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time. If these conditions are unsatisfactory, you must change the program settings.
2. The Reset Button
Press the RESET button to exit the programming mode at any time and return to the time display.
The RESET Button (which is long) is located in the right lower corner on the bottom of the clock.
Please Note:
You do not need the key to set the time or to program the clock!! However, you do need the key to change the ribbon, or mount the clock.
