Abstract:
A time recorder with the operation mode capable of being switched between a print mode and a set mode and feeding a time card inserted therein up to a data time data stamping step position for stamping a current date with a card carrier motor and stamping the date when the operation mode is switched to the print mode and also adjusting a feed rate for the time card when operation mode is switched to the set mode, said time recorder comprising a sensor for reading a start point and an end point for measurement of a feed rate provided on an inserted time card, an encoder for counting a feed rate of the time card fed from a point of time when the start point is read until a point of time when the end point is read, an adjustment value computing means for computing an adjustment value for adjusting the feed rate by comparing the counted feed rate to a preset basic feed rate, and an adjustment value registration means for registering the computed adjustment value as step pitch adjustment data, each of which is each enabled when the operation mode of the time recorder is switched to the set mode, and said time recorder further comprising a feed rate control means for adjusting a feed rate of the time card by the card carrier motor according to the registered step pitch adjustment data to carry the time card to the time data stamping step position for the current data when the operation mode of the time recorder is set to the print mode.
