Lathem 7000E - Manual (Page 17)

5. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH 7000E
This time recorder can operate in one of two modes; Payroll Mode or Job Cost Mode.
In Payroll Mode and Job Cost Mode, the recorder prints total elapsed time between
IN(Start) and OUT(Stop), and also prints a running total of accumulated time per time card
on each line. The clock matches pairs of punches and calculates the elapsed time between
that pair using predefined rounding rules. The recorder always prints the actual time on the
time card, regardless of rounding rules. In Payroll Mode the hours accumulate and reset
based on "pay period settings" that are configured during setup. In Job Cost Mode the
hours for each unique card can accumulate and reset based on "manual card reset"
("cleared") by performing a manual operation on the time recorder.
For Rounding, there are two options; Hourly Rounding, Punch Time Rounding. For
Hourly Rounding, the recorder calculates the hours from time IN punch and time OUT
punch, and rounds that result with the "Rounding Unit". The fractions that occur after
rounding will be omitted by breakpoint. For Punch Time Rounding, the recorder rounds
both the time IN punch and the time OUT punch, and then it calculates the hours from the
time IN punch and the time OUT punch. When rounding the time IN punch, it will raise
the fractions that occur and, for the rounding of the time OUT punch, it will omit the
fractions by breakpoint.
The functions for the buttons on the front of the recorder can be set. There are three
options; Required, Optional, Disabled.
Refer to "Functions for the buttons".
In order to properly identify missed punches, the recorder has Max In Value that is used to
pair punches for calculations. If the next punch following an IN punch exceeds the Max In
Value(i.e.,13hrs.), then it assumed that the employee forgot to punch OUT, and that punch
is actually printed as the next IN punch. The employee can override this and force the
recorder to make OUT punch by pressing the OUT button before inserting the time card.
The buttons must be enabled. (See "Setting the Button Function".)
