Introduction
Overview
The ATR120 is an electronic across-the-card time clock, which can be used for a
weekly or a biweekly pay period. The unique ATR121 Time Card offers a weekly
time card on the front and a biweekly time card on the back. The day progresses
across the card from left to right in six columns. This is accomplished by pressing
one of the card-positioning buttons (IN-OUT) on top of the clock. The pay period
(day of week) moves down the card, top to bottom. You may select the time of day
you want this “day change” to occur. You may also select the starting day of your
pay period during the easy set up procedure.
The ATR120 offers two-color printing so employee punches outside normal punch
times will print in RED allowing for quick and easy auditing of exception punches.
The built-in signal can be programmed to audibly denote start and stop work times.
The large analog clock face, not electronically synchronized with the digital display,
is easy to read from across the room.
With a built-in battery back-up, auto daylight saving adjustments and a perpetual
calendar, the ATR120 Time Clock will always print the correct time.

IV. Getting started
Installing clock dial battery
The front cover must be opened before the clock dial battery can be installed.
Opening the front cover also allows you to set the clock's analog time. You will need
to do this occasionally to synchronize the clock dial to the digital display and printer.
3
To open the front
cover, turn the clock
on its back and
remove the two
outer screws on
bottom of clock.
Stand the clock
upright with the back facing you. With both thumbs press down on IN1 and OUT3
buttons while using your fingers to push cover away.
The clock dial panel is shipped locked into place. You have the option of removing
the tab that locks the clock panel into place for easy access when setting the clock. If
you remove the locking tab, we suggest you keep the tab. To remove the locking tab,
unfasten the screw located in the front cover and remove the screw and clip. The
screw and clip may be stored by securing it into the post screw hole below where it
was removed. It is not necessary to remove the locking tab to install the battery or to
adjust the clock dial time setting.
Once the front cover is open, you will be able to install the battery and to set the
time on the dial. Opening the front cover also allows you to access the ribbon
cassette.
V. Setting the ATR120
Programming Hints
The ATR120 incorporates features to make the task of time and attendance faster and
easier.
The simplest way to program the ATR120 is to set all of the functions, at one time,
while in the program mode. Although, you may set functions independently it is
recommended that you follow the program sequence.
When programming the time, and the time of day for events to occur, the display
will show time in a 24-hour format (i.e. 3:00 PM will be 15:00).
To place the clock in the program mode, set the program switch located on back of
clock, in the upper left corner from “NOR” to “PRO” (top position). This now
activates the 6 manual card-positioning switches (“IN1”, “OUT1”, etc.) on top of the
4
clock to function as program switches. With the dust cover open you will find that
these program switches are numbered 1 – 6 to simplify programming the ATR120
The first switch on the top left of the clock (IN1) functions as the feature selection
switch and will advance you through the program mode. This switch also allows you
to skip over a feature and advance to the next feature without programming. Once a
feature is selected, switches “OUT2” through “IN3” will be used for programming.
We'll refer to the switches as buttons one through six.
The last switch on the right, button six or “OUT3” is used to save the program
selection to memory. IMPORTANT: If OUT3 is flashing in the lower right corner
of the display, the programmed changes have not been saved.

Setting the two-color printing and internal signal tone
Time cards can be audited much easier by highlighting in red, punches outside the
normal work schedule. Using the internal audible signal will remind your employees
of start and stop times in their work schedule. You can even have a warning signal
two minutes before start time to alert your employees. This program allows for a
total combination of 32 scheduled events. Events can be selected to allow a ribbon
color change or a signal tone or a combination of both. Each event can be
programmed for the time of day in hours and minutes and the day of week.
The events available are:
Clock to print in RED
Clock to print in RED with SIGNAL
Clock to print in BLACK
Clock to print in BLACK with SIGNAL
Clock to SIGNAL without a color change
Note: The default ribbon color is black. The clock has to be programmed at a
specific time to print in red. Once a color change occurs the clock will print in that
color until an opposite color change is activated.
The following is a sample schedule of events for a 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM work
schedule with a one hour lunch period from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM (13:00) This
schedule has the clock printing in RED at 8:01 AM to 12 Noon. Any late in or early
out punches will print in RED, The clock will print in BLACK during the lunch
period. Then printing in RED at 1:01 PM (13:01) until 5:00 PM (17:00). At 5:00 PM
the clock will print in BLACK allowing for exit punches. At 5:30 (17:30) the clock
will return to RED to note OT punches or late outs. The clock will return to BLACK
at 07:30 in the morning to allow for IN punches for that day. The internal signal will
sound at 8:00 AM, 12:00, 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM audibly notifying start and stop
times. On the chart on the next page, the IN/OUT under each event denotes the event
selection shown on bottom of the display during the programming of these events.

Setting auto column shift print position
This feature may not be appropriate for all installations. The auto column shift is a
special feature for installations where most or all employees arrive and depart at the
same time. Employees who arrive or depart at different times may be required to
manually reset the card column position. Failure to do so will result in printing in the
wrong location on the time card. For ease of operation of the ATR120, caution
should be used in selecting this feature. If the auto column shift position is manually
changed, the clock will return to the scheduled auto position after 7 – 8 seconds.
The auto column shift feature allows for a total of 18 horizontal moves. It is
recommended that a program chart be used to create a schedule to assist in
programming this feature.
A sample program chart is shown below for an 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM shift with lunch
between 12:00 Noon and 1:00 PM. Employees may punch in after 7:30 AM.
Employees start lunch at 12:00 PM and must take at least a 15-minute lunch to
punch in IN2 column. AT 5:00 PM the clock will advance to OUT2. Overtime
punching is allowed after 5:30 PM. And a minimum of 30 minutes is permitted

the wall-mounted
frame to the bottom
of the time clock.
4. Line up the keyholes on the back of the time clock with
the screws in the wall. Slide the ATR120 downwards to
firmly mount it on the wall.
5. Place a screw in the bottom hole of the
wall-mounting frame to secure it to the
wall.
VII. Operating your ATR120
The Clock will print in the column indicated by the red light above the IN/OUT
buttons. Press the appropriate IN or OUT button to choose the print position for time
cards. The print position will not change until another column button is pressed. If
an auto shift schedule is programmed, then the ATR120 will automatically shift from
column to column. If manually changed, while in auto shift, the clock will return to
the programmed position after 7 or 8 seconds.

To print, insert a time card into the receiver with the pay
period selected, facing you. Note: The clock cannot
differentiate the pay period and will print on either side
of the time card. The card is automatically pulled in and
printed. Do not attempt to pull the card out during the
printing operation or to insert any objects other than time
cards. Doing so can result in damage to printer.
VIII. Maintenance
Several simple suggestions may extend the life of your ATR120.
Sꢀ Close the anti-dust cover after operation.
Sꢀ When the case is dirty, wipe it with a damp soft cloth. If necessary, a mild
detergent may be used. Do not use any type of thinner or other chemical for
cleaning because the chemical could damage or discolor the case.
Replacing the ribbon
When the printing on the time card becomes light or hard to read it will be necessary
to replace the ribbon. Use the ATR122 replacement ribbon cassette (part number 39
0127 000). Attempting to “re-ink” the cassette will cause permanent damage to the
printer.
To open the front cover, turn the clock on its back and remove the two outer screws.
Stand the clock upright with the back facing you. With both thumbs press down on
IN1 and OUT3 buttons while using your fingers to push cover away.

Next, remove and discard the pin and
clip. Remove the ribbon cassette by
first sliding it left and then upwards as
shown by the illustration (A & B).
Place the new ribbon into the ATR120.
It is not necessary to replace the pin and
clip. Turn the ribbon feed knob
counterclockwise until the ribbon is taut.
Close the front cover.
