The Part Number for the Royal brand time cards is 013702 (250 time cards per pack). We have tested many brands of time cards and have found the following other brands and models to be compatible with the TC100: BRAND ADAMS MODEL 9656-250 9791-250 9659-250 9657-250 BRAND SIMPLEX TOPS MODEL 1950-9391 1259250 Since there are a wide variety of sizes and designs of time cards, for some brands of cards other than Royal, it may be necessary to adjust the print alignment to print correctly on each row of the time cards when the control knob is turned.

Treat it with care to ensure best performance. Avoid Rough Treatment Avoid dropping the unit. Only gentle pressure is needed to activate the print action in either Manual or Automatic modes. Retain the original packaging so you can use it if you must ship the time clock. Cleaning The hard plastic casing of your clock has a durable finish that should retain its original luster for many years. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To remove stains, use a mild soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents, or sprays. TROUBLESHOOTING If your TC100 does not work properly, try the following suggestions before seeking repair assistance. Printing 1. If printing problem occurs, check the ink roll to make certain it is installed properly. If needed, replace with a new ink roll. If printing is on the wrong side of the time card, check the position of the card insert slot and adjust for regular time / extra time as needed. If it is not printing in the correct row of the time card, check if the control knob was set for the desired day and IN or OUT setting. If printing is not aligning correctly in each row of the time card, or if printing is constantly on the line, see page 13 for the adjustment screw instructions. 2. 3. 4.
