However, if the above-mentioned two types of independent time recorders are used, the burden will be heavy for a small number of employees, and the installation space will be doubled. In some cases, it cannot be used in terms of space. In addition, since the work data of each employee is recorded separately by two types of independent time recorders, when managing the data recorded in each time recorder in total, However, it is necessary to connect each time recorder to a host device such as a host computer or a personal computer for management, and there is a problem that the entire system becomes large-scale.

Further, like the magnetic card type time recorder described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-15691,
There is also developed a structure in which the record of attendance and attendance is printed out on the back side of the magnetic card, but since the printing space of the magnetic card is very small, it is necessary to repeat attendance and attendance on one day,
There was a problem that it was not possible to accurately print the working time of the part where there were many special jobs or the part-time job.

In addition, when the operation mode of the time recorder of the printing method is switched to the exceptional work or the setting registration mode by using the magnetic card, for example, the actual operation number is 62-1092.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 75, the card reader has to be connected to the print-type time recorder, so that there is a problem that the whole system becomes larger.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is that when docked, the functions of both the non-printing system and the printing system can be exhibited in one space, and when separated, the function of the printing system cannot be exhibited, and the function of the non-printing system is not produced. To be able to exert only
