One of the practical features of this time recorder is its ability to identify the correct side of the time card automatically.

Employees do not need to spend time determining which side of the card should face the printing mechanism. After the card is inserted, the machine detects the card position and manages the printing operation automatically.

This design can help reduce common operating mistakes such as:

Inserting the card in the wrong direction

Printing on the incorrect side

Selecting the wrong printing position

Manually changing the card orientation

For workplaces where many employees share one attendance terminal, automatic card detection can make the daily clock-in and clock-out process more consistent.

 

---

Automatic Print-Column Selection

The recorder can automatically change the printing position according to the configured attendance schedule.

This allows the physical time card to organize different attendance records in separate printing positions rather than placing every punch in the same location.

The function can be useful for workplaces with:

Regular daily schedules

Morning and afternoon attendance

Multiple clock-in and clock-out periods

Different working-hour arrangements

Shift-based employee attendance

The exact schedule configuration can be set according to the product's available functions and the customer's attendance requirements.

---

Electronic Timekeeping with a Physical Attendance Card

The product combines electronic time control with traditional paper-card attendance.

Employees use an individual time card to record their attendance, while the machine controls the date and time electronically.

This approach provides a useful middle ground between a basic mechanical punch clock and a fully digital biometric attendance system.

The company can retain the printed cards as physical attendance records for internal review, payroll preparation or employee attendance administration.

---

Two-Color Time Card Printing

The machine supports two-color printing for attendance records.

Using different print colors can make the information on a time card easier to distinguish when reviewing daily attendance records.

This can be particularly useful when supervisors need to check a large number of employee cards manually.

The product uses a 9-pin printing mechanism and supports two-color output according to the current product configuration.

---

Automatic Card In-and-Out Operation

The time recorder is designed to handle the employee card automatically during the attendance process.

The machine supports automatic card insertion and return, allowing employees to complete a punch without manually controlling the card mechanism.

This simplifies operation at busy attendance points where multiple employees may use the same machine during a short period.

---

Flexible Attendance Settings for Different Working Hours

The recorder provides multiple attendance functions for workplaces with different working schedules.

Rather than limiting the machine to a simple single-shift clock-in and clock-out routine, it can be configured for different working-hour requirements.

Potential applications include:

Standard Office Attendance

Employees use their individual cards to record daily arrival and departure times.

Factory Working Schedules

The recorder can be installed at a factory entrance or employee access point for paper-based attendance.

Multiple Attendance Periods

Different printing positions can be used to organize attendance records throughout the working day.

Shift-Based Work

The machine can be configured according to the working-hour requirements of businesses with scheduled employee shifts.

---

Built-In Calendar and Time Management

The electronic time recorder includes a calendar function for maintaining date information used in attendance printing.

This allows the machine to provide consistent date and time records throughout normal operation.

For businesses using paper attendance cards over extended periods, accurate time and date management is essential because the printed record is used as the primary attendance reference.

---

Music Tones and External Ringing

The time recorder supports music tones and external ringing functions.

These features can be used to provide audible reminders at scheduled times.

Depending on the workplace configuration, the ringing function may be used for:

Work starting time

Break periods

Shift changes

Work finishing time

Scheduled attendance reminders

An external ringing connection can be useful when the attendance point is located in a factory, workshop or other relatively large working environment.

---

Backup Power for Attendance Continuity

A backup battery is available for this time recorder.

Backup power can be useful in workplaces where temporary power interruptions may occur and maintaining attendance settings is important.

The machine also includes data memory backup functionality, helping preserve relevant settings when normal power is interrupted.

For OEM projects or specific markets, customers should confirm the required backup configuration before placing an order.

---

Anti-Thunder Functional Design

The product includes an anti-thunder functional design intended for use in environments where electrical protection is an important consideration.

This feature can be useful for businesses operating the recorder in workshops, factories, warehouses and other commercial locations.

The actual electrical installation should still follow the requirements of the local power system and applicable safety standards.

---

Wide Working Temperature Range

The listed operating temperature range is:

-30°C to +40°C

The specified working humidity range is:

10%RH to 80%RH

This operating range gives distributors flexibility when supplying the recorder to different commercial environments.

For projects involving unusually high or low temperatures, customers should confirm the final environmental requirements before ordering.

---

Paper Attendance Without Biometric Registration

The QIMI Electronic Analogue Punch Time Clock is designed for organizations that prefer a physical attendance card rather than biometric employee identification.

Employees do not need to register fingerprints or facial data to use the machine.

This can be useful when a company wants:

Physical attendance records

Simple employee operation

A standalone attendance terminal

No dependence on cloud services

No biometric registration

Easy manual review of time cards

A familiar clock-in and clock-out process

For organizations that already use paper attendance cards, the recorder can be integrated into an existing attendance workflow without requiring a major software change.

---

Suitable Applications

Manufacturing Facilities

Factories can use the time recorder at employee entrances to collect physical clock-in and clock-out records.

Workshops

The standalone design makes the machine suitable for workshops where employees report to a fixed attendance point.

Warehouses

Warehouse operators can maintain individual time cards while supervisors review printed attendance records.

Offices

Small and medium-sized companies can use the machine without installing a network-based attendance platform.

Retail Businesses

Stores can use individual employee cards to document working hours and shift attendance.

Hotels and Service Businesses

The multiple attendance functions can support workplaces where employees follow scheduled working periods.
