The RAM 23 temporarily stores data used for control of the time recorder control program, data printed on the time card, date change, and other data that changes depending on the date.
[Operation]
Next, the operation of the date printing process for the unfilled time card in the time recorder 10 configured as described above will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the date entry execution button K3 is pressed (step 1), and when the insertion of a time card is detected (step 2), it is determined whether or not the date is not entered in the time card (step 3). If it is entered, the message “Please replace with a time card with no date entered” is displayed (step 4), and the process returns to step 2 to determine whether a time card has been detected within a predetermined time. If no time card is detected within a predetermined time, the process ends. If it is detected that the time card is an unwritten date card, the process proceeds to step 5 where all the dates and days of the first half of this month are printed on the surface of the time card simultaneously with the printing of the current time (step 5).

  When all the dates and days of the first half of the current month have been printed on one side of the time card, after determining whether printing is complete (step 6), if there is any other single-sided printing, replace the time card with the back side. Please display "or the like (step 7) and wait for" replacement "(step 8). When the “replacement” of the time card is completed within a predetermined time, all the remaining dates and days of the current month are printed on one side (back side) of the current time card on the back side (step 9). In step 8, if the “replacement” is not performed within a predetermined time, the process ends and returns to the normal time printing mode for attending and leaving work.

  In the above operation, when the time card is inserted into the card insertion slot 12 of the time recorder 10, the time card is drawn by the card feed motor 26, and light is passed through the hole for identification of the time card, and the ID code of the time card. Is read.

  A monthly schedule corresponding to the ID code is obtained from the read ID code, and the schedule of the day on which the time card is inserted is retrieved from the monthly schedule, displayed, and printed.

  As described above, according to the time recorder 10 of this embodiment, when the execution button K3 is pressed and an unfilled time card is inserted, the date display of all the months is entered on the time card in advance.

  In the entry of the date and day of the week on this time card, if the entry starts as a new month attendance / exit from the day after the closing date, both the manager and the employee can see the schedule etc. in advance at the beginning of the month. At the end of, it will be possible to confirm the work status etc. at a glance, which is convenient.

  Moreover, even if various closing dates are set for each company, if you enter a blank card on the first day of the month that takes the new closing date and press the date entry button K3, all dates for that month will be entered in advance. When listing, it is easy to identify which stage is which day, and management becomes easy.

  Also, if you do not enter a date card unless you enter an unfilled time card and then press the execute button K3, you can enter a completed time card, or accidentally insert a time card in the middle of the month and press the execute button K3. But no date will be entered, so no mistakes will occur.

  Furthermore, the name of the contractor is printed in advance according to the time card with a light transmission hole for personal identification, and the name and code of the employee corresponding to the light transmission hole (ID data) are stored in the microcomputer of the time recorder 10. If it is allowed, the employee can record the attendance / leaving for the employee on the time recorder 10 side simply by inserting the passed unfilled time card into the time recorder 10 and entering the attendance / leaving. Thus, it is possible to manage employee attendance and leave by simply connecting the time recorder 10 and another computer via a line.

  Next, in the time recorder 10, after the date is written on one side of the time card with no date entered, the time card is taken out from the time recorder 10, and the entry surface is changed and inserted into the time recorder 10 again. You can enter the date in the second half, and you can enter the date in advance on both sides of the time card. This eliminates the need to re-enter the date in the middle of the month.

  Furthermore, in addition to the date, for example, it is possible to fill in information such as a predetermined schedule such as day of the week or early / late numbers, or items that can be reported, such as holidays, so the company can easily manage attendance schedules for employees, etc. On the side, you can visually check your attendance schedule with a time card.
