Once a HandPunch system is in operation the following commands are used for 
system management.

List Users – List the users authorized to use a HandPunch. This is done through the 

Management Menu. The instructions for listing employees begin on page 41.

Set User Data – Set a user’s reject threshold (adjusting the sensitivity applied when a 

HandPunch reads a hand) and assign time zones to users (defining when users are 
allowed to punch in and out). These tasks should be done through your user 
software, however they can be done through the Management Menu. The 
instructions for setting user data through the Management Menu begin on page 42.

Remove User – Remove employees (and supervisors) from a HandPunch. This task 

should be done through your user software, however it can be done through the 
Enrollment Menu. The instructions for removing employees through the 
Enrollment Menu begin on page 48.

The ID numbering system helps identify the user about to use the HandPunch. ID 
numbers are used during user enrollment and verification. A properly designed ID 
numbering system allows for quicker user recognition (through the use of the Set ID 
Length command). Use the following guidelines when designing an ID numbering 
system.

•

Each user must have a unique ID number.

•

ID numbers can be up to 10 digits long.

•

For ease of memorization, make each number as short as possible. Generally 
speaking, it is easier to remember ID numbers that are 4 digits or less (if your 
installation has less than 10,000 users).

•

Make all ID numbers the same length. This allows the Set ID Length command to 
be used, automatically reading an ID number when the proper number of digits 
have been entered. If different ID number lengths are used, a user must press either 

the 

 key or the 

 key to identify when the complete ID number has 

been entered.

•

If an ID number has a leading 0 (zero), that leading 0 will be ignored.

While the HandPunch waits for a command, the display appears as follows.
