Troubleshooting
The Time Clock will try three times to communicate with
your printer. After each unsuccessful try it will display
“Printer Error” on the screen and ask you to “Press any
key to continue.” After each key press it will try to print
again. If unsuccessful after three tries, the TimeCalculator
will return to ENTER ID NUMBER mode. If this occurs
during your printer test, check that your printer has
paper, is turned on, and that the cable is connected to the
Time Clock and to the printer.

TIPS
• Run Exception Reports weekly. Staying on top of
your missed punches day by day will make generating
payroll easy.
• Occasionally print a Personnel Report and save it in a
secure place. This provides you with a handy reference
of employees and pay rates.
• Do not print out your timecards until a new pay period
has started. Then print your timecards by “Last Pay” to
get your payroll reports (Quick Pick #33).
