Frequently Asked Questions:
Is the TimeQ+ (Time & Attendance software) compatible with Windows XP?
Yes. Earlier Versions 4.10 and below are not compatible with Windows XP. A service pack is available that will resolve the compatibility issue.
My employees can't punch in this morning even though I ran an "Hours Summary" report after they punched out last night.
The "Hours Summary" report must be run AFTER the actual end of the pay period (ie, 12:00 midnight)
The system comes with 50' of cable to connect to my computer. Can I get a longer cable?
Acroprint offers an optional 100 foot cable. This cable is terminated at both ends and inspected to insure proper operation. User supplied cables may result in communication problems. User's cables are not supported by Acroprint help desk.
I am currently running windows XP. I have encountered an error when accessing some of the files: "TSIF400 has encountered an error and needs to close". Is there a solution?
Yes, you are running an older version and will need the service pack upgrade. See your local dealer.
How will my employees know that they are punched "in" without a time card?
The terminal displays the employee name, type of punch (In or Out) and hours worked at each swipe ("Punch") of the employee's badge.
Can I use two terminals with the software?
No. The software supports only one terminal and is not designed for a LAN environment.
Can I use payroll packages and export data for payroll?
Yes. Using the generic ASCII output. Data may be exported to other software accepting ASCII files.
What happens if one of my employees misses a punch?
The word "Missed" will appear in place of the out punch on the time card. When time is determined it may then be added to the employee time card under editing in the PC software. The word "Inserted" will now appear on the time card and the totals will automatically update. Asterisks (*) will also appear on the "Hours Summary" report denoting a missed punch.
My employees cannot punch in, the display reads "Locked out, report old data 1st".
Print a "Previous" hour summary report for all employees.
Can I archive or save data to a disk?
Yes. Saving data on disk avoids the need to keep hard copies. From the PC interface software select the "Reports" icon from the same menu. Under "Report Output" select "ASCII File" and click on "Create". At the "Save As" screen select the drive you wish to save file to and enter a file name. Click on Save.
I lost my supervisor badges and now I can't get into the Time Clock setup. How do I get new supervisor badges?
In the software you will notice a supervisor icon. Click on this icon and using an identification badge that has not been issued to an employee, click on "Insert" & type in the badge number. This will allow you to use this badge as a Supervisor badge.
My employees can't punch in, the display reads "Memory Full, Report Old Data 1st". I deleted hours and employees and it still won't allow employees to punch.
The previous "Hours Summary" report MUST be printed prior to the end of the current pay period to prevent "Lock Out".
The system software allows for export to national payroll processors (Time Plus, ADP, Paychex's Paylink). How do these services work?
The end user must contact these companies in their local area for pricing and information about the service.
I want to connect the terminal directly to a printer. What type of printer do I need?
The terminal can support a serial or parallel printer. The parallel printer should be an IBM-PC or a PC compatible printer. The printer cable (not included with the system) is a standard parallel printer cable with a 25-pin connector and a 36-pin Centronics type connector. For serial cable information contact the printer vendor.
Can I use my present employee badges?
System badges are magnetic encoded on ABA, track 2, with four digits. If your existing badges are encoded the same they should work. The terminal will read only the last four digits of your current badges. (ie, #678653 reads 8653) Range: 0001 to 9999.
Can the TimeQ+ be programmed for access control?
No. The access control module is not available for the TimeQ+. Access Control is available for the ATR9800.
How is overtime handled on a Semi-Monthly or Monthly pay period?
Daily overtime limits can be set for Semi-Monthly or Monthly pay periods. Weekly OT does NOT apply to Semi-Monthly or Monthly pay periods.
Can I order badges numbered from 150 to 200?
Extra badges are available in standard packs of 50. Nos. 51-100 and Nos. 101-150. Special badges are also available..
I can't delete an employee. I keep getting the message, "Can't complete task, employee punches on clock".
You must wait until there are no employee punches on the clock (normally two complete pay periods).
Which printers are compatible with the Acroprint TimeQ+ terminal?
The following printers are compatible: HP Laser Jet 4000, HP 600 and 900 series, Epson LQ Dot Matrix, Brothers HL 1240 (4.10 SP1 only). The printer emulation should be set to standard text.
What is the total number of Supervisors I can assign?
You may have a total of 10 Supervisors. The System includes 2 Supervisor's badges. You can assign employee badges as Supervisor badges, however they can not be used as employee badges while assigned as a Supervisor badge. |
