Acroprint BioTouch - Clock Configuration Rules; Shifts and Punch Parameter Setup

2
Setting up the clock’s rules
Setting the clock rules involves setting up your shifts, punch parameters, and
holidays.
Shifts and Punch Setup
Shifts are used to determine the time of day that employees are due to start
work, leave and return from lunch, and leave for the day. These times are used
along with the Punch Early/Late Setup settings to mark unusual punches in red
on the timecard. An example would be when an employee punches in earlier
than their Shift Start time and the Early Shift Start setting, the punch will be in red
on the time card. This allows the supervisor to quickly isolate punches that are
outside of the company policies and procedures.
The steps involved in setting up or modifying the shifts and punch setup are to
download the current shift and punch settings to the USB stick, open them in
Excel, enter your company’s data, and then upload them back to the clock.
Step 1: If this is your initial setup, Acroprint has already loaded the shift file onto
the USB stick, so you can skip to step two. Otherwise, download the ‘Shifts’ file
to the USB stick.
a. Plug the USB stick into the side of the clock.
b. Press the ‘Menu’ button, then select Shift and press ‘OK’, then select
Download Shift and ‘OK’.
c. When completed, select Download Setup and ‘OK’.
d. When completed, press ‘ESC’ repeatedly to exit the menus or simply allow
the menus to time out.
e. Remove the USB stick from the clock.
Step 2: Open the files in Excel
a. Plug the USB stick into your computer.
b. If a directory does not automatically open, use Windows Explorer to
navigate to the USB directory.
c. Double click on the ‘Shift_Setup’ file. Excel should launch and open the
file. If not, run Excel and open the shift file from the USB stick’s directory.
d. Now double click to open the ‘Global_Setup’ file also.
