Using the Time Recorder
Once the time recorder is installed, the employee punch records that are generated from card
punches are stored within the recorder even if those records are uploaded to the TimeTrax EZ
database.
The TimeTrax EZ recorder automatically stores the last 6,000 punches; depending on usage the
punches can be retrieved on a more or less frequent basis. However, it is recommended that
punches should be retrieved on a regular basis for two reasons:
1. The larger the number of new punches retrieved, the longer it takes for downloading to the
TimeTrax EZ database.
2. In case of catastrophic equipment failure of the time recorder, such as lightning or violent
impact, the punch record is stored in a second place (the PC).
Using Employee Cards
1. Insert the employee card at the top of the slot on the right
side of the time recorder. The card must be held with the
magnetic stripe to the right and the card firmly in the slot.
2. Rapidly pull the card down through the slot. If
the employee number is successfully read, the time
recorder will beep and the card number will be
displayed briefly on the screen.
