PERFECT 2020
The PERFECT 2020 is an electronic time recorder used for the printing of employee
time and attendance records. The time recorder can be programmed by the user to
suit many different work schedules.
The PERFECT 2020 prints the time and day automatically when the employee
inserts a time card into the card funnel. The horizontal day-of-the-week line position
is done automatically by the time recorder.
A number of standard card formats are available and can be selected from the
programming routine. If these formats do not last an adaptation to individual card
formats can be achieved by programming another print position. Any card format
within the dimensions given by the recorder can be used (width: 68 mm - 106 mm ;
2.67 - 4.17 inch). The print release on the time card is executed electro-mechanical.
The current column is marked by a column pointer in the pointer field.
The pointer field shows the current illustration with the column separation of the card
used. This pointer field may be replaced by other funnel shields. The printer head is
positioned in the corresponding column either automatically by the programmed
change time or manually by position key depending on the type of recorder and
programming.
Compared with the basic models, the model 2020 offers an extended number of
efficient functions.
