Warning

Do not disassemble the unit. There is a high voltage present inside, possibly leading to an
electric shock.

Do not modify the unit. Modifications may cause a fire and/or electric shock.

If any anomaly occurs, for example, heat or smoke is generated or an odor is emitted, unplug
the unit immediately and contact your dealer for servicing. There is a danger that further use
may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not use any voltage of the power source other than designated.
Do not share a single outlet with another plug. These may lead to fire or shock hazards.

Do not damage, break, or modify the power cord. Do not put a heavy object on, pull, or
forcefully bend the cord, either. These may damage the cord, possibly resulting in a fire or
electric shock.

1

If foreign matter should get in the unit (including a piece of metal, water, or liquid), disconnect
the plug from the outlet immediately and contact your dealer for servicing. There is a danger
that further use may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not plug or unplug the unit with a wet hand. You may get an electric shock.

Caution

Do not place the unit on an uneven or tilted surface. This may result in injuries due to the unit
dropping or falling off.

Do not put a water-filled container or a metal object on top of the unit. If water is spilled or the
metallic object slips inside, a fire or shock hazard may occur.

Do not install the unit in a humid or dusty environment. It may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not place the unit near kitchen counter or humidifier. Oil, smoke, or steam generating from
them may cause fire or shock hazards.

Do not yank the power cord to disconnect from the outlet. Hold the plug with your hand to do
so, or the cord may be damaged, possibly leading to a fire or electric shock.

Remove the line cord plug from the outlet before transferring the unit, or it may damage the
cord, possibly leading to a fire or electric shock.

Be careful not to contact the print head, as you may get hurt or burned.

Make sure to insert the power plug as far as it will go. Improper insertion of the plug may
develop fire or shock hazards.

Do not insert or drop any other time card than specified into the slot. Such misuse may cause a
fire or electric shock.

If the unit should be dropped or the case be broken, unplug the unit and contact your dealer for
servicing. Further use may lead to a fire or shock hazard.

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 Simplex time 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.

Be sure to keep about 0.12 inch ( 3

mm) of the screw head out of the wall.

The supplied screws are intended

for use on a thick wooden wall

or wooden column. Do not use

them on any other materials.

There is a danger that the unit

may come off if used on other

materials.

4. DAILY OPERATIONS

Once the AC line cord is plugged into the outlet, the unit can be used immediately. Basic

operations, including the time and closing dates, are preset.

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 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 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.
