print total hours if applicable, and eject card back to employee
• If an employee forgets to punch out, the 700E will print the next day’s in
punch on a new row without miscalculating time based on the Max Hours In
setting (pg.18). Optionally, employees can work up to 48 continuous hours
using the out-punch Button override option (pg.18)
• Time cards are reset each pay period automatically based on pay period
settings. You can manually reset cards (pg.29)
• If a time card becomes damaged, or you have filled all available rows on
time card, you can reassign card totals to new card number (pg.28) and

Print example
"B" is to indicate that Auto Break Deduction is valid.
Break times can be automatically deducted from totals using the "Auto Break Deduction"
feature. You must set a base working elapsed time and break duration. Once total working
hours reaches to Elapsed Time, Break Duration will be deducted from the total working hours.
For example, if you have a 30 minute lunch break that you want to deduct and the lunch break
starts 4 hours into work day, set elapsed time to 4:30 and set Break duration to 30. Thus, 30
minutes would be deducted from any punch made 4 hours, 30 minutes in the work period.
Only available in Calculating Mode. The 700E will deduct the break
amount after totaling the hours and if the total hours are equal to or greater
than the "Elapsed Time" setting.
