2. FEATURES

The time table program provides the following functions:

•Automatic switching among four print columns (Columns 1-4).

The auto-switching function of a column to print records in

prevents punching failure or error.

•A special mark (*) can be set to print. This function makes it easy

to detect when an employee is tardy, leaves early, or the like.

•It is possible to select one of three pay periods: weekly, bi-weekly

or monthly.

•The SEIKO S Card automatically senses the front or back of the

card, thereby ensuring that the time is printed on the correct side of

a monthly card.

•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 digital clock is provided on its front for users'

convenience.

•User-friendly operation and easy setting enhance user comfort.

•The unit resumes operation when the power returns after a power

outage, without any need for re-setting the date or time.
