EP10 Time Recorder User Guide

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our time recorder. For safe and proper operation, please carefully read this manual before using the time recorder and save it for reference.

Simplex‟s EP10 TruAlign Time Recorder is a maintenance-free employee time recorder that uses no ink, ribbon or toner and operates without any loud impact noise to disturb the working environment.

Simplex‟s EP10 TruAlign Time Recorder features the patented

“TruAlign” feature, which helps employees align their timecards to ensure a clear registration at the correct position on the timecard.

The employee places the long edge of the timecard on the timecard shelf of the EP10 and aligns the timecard to the cell to be printed. When the timecard is aligned correctly an automatic imprint with the day and time will be recorded on the timecard. The indicator turns green when the printing is complete and the timecard can be removed.

The EP10 TruAlign Time Recorder uses the Simplex thermal time card. The time and date programming is protected by an internal lithium battery

Step 1

Using the wall-mount bracket as a guide, mark the location on the wall of where the screws will be installed.

Run the AC wall adapter cord through hole in the wall-mount bracket and then install the wall-mount bracket to the wall using the supplied wallmount screws. Note: The time recorder should be mounted for best visibility, about 48 inches from the floor.

Step 2

Remove the Philips head screw holding the back-plate on the time recorder. Be sure to retain the Philips head screw for later.

Function

The time recorder was calibrated at the factory but with the passage of time or shifts in temperature you may find it necessary to recalibrate the time recorder.

When should I calibrate the TruAlign function for the timecard?

Recalibration may be needed if you insert a timecard in the time recorder and the blue LED changes to green when the timecard is not aligned correctly. See below for an example of a timecard when the TruAlign function needs to be recalibrated.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why will the EP10 not power up?  Check to make sure the AC power connector is plugged in securely on the back of the time recorder.

 Make sure the AC wall outlet is supplying power. To check this you could plug in a lamp or radio.

Why will nothing print on the timecard when it is inserted in the EP10?

Why is the EP10 printing on the timecard when it is not aligned in the timecard cell?

When I press the SET button to accept a setting the display shows

“Err #”. (# = the function number you are currently configuring.)

What does this error mean?

Why is it when there is a power failure I have to reset the time and date on the EP10?

 Make sure the wall adapter is securely plugged into the AC wall outlet.

 Make sure the timecards being used are designed for the EP10 time recorder. Not all cards will work with the EP10 time recorder. Use timecard #

THERMAL.

 You may need to recalibrate the TruAlign function. See page 30 for details.

 Typically if you see “Err #”, it means you have selected an invalid entry. For example if you see „Err 4‟, this means you have entered an invalid setting for Function 4.

 You may need to change the internal BR2325 coin-cell lithium battery. Contact

Simplex‟s technical support at

1-800-224-1881.

Is there a way to reset all of the settings except the time and date to the factory default settings?

 Yes, to reset the EP10 to the factory settings, press and

-

and SET the + buttons at the same time.

The display will show rESt for 2 seconds and then the normal time / date will show.

Why does the display show 4 dashes ( - - - - ) after an employee punches the timecard?

 This is normal operation; the print head is readying itself for the next imprint.
