How DocuClock Works

The following is a summary of the steps DocuClock goes through when printing a time stamp:

Direct Print Versions:

1. DocuClock software is started. When the program starts the DocuClock software opens the printer connection through the printer port.

2. When a slip of paper is introduced to the DocuClock printer it triggers the optical paper senor

3. If the Automatic sense mode is enabled in the DocuClock software, then the printer gets the exact time from the computer. It prints the time, a message and text as specified in the DocuClock program. No keys or input need be made on the computer for DocuClock to print.

4 After printing the slip the slip is ejected from the printer and DocuClock is reset and ready for the next slip.

Windows version:

1. DocuClock software is started. When the program starts the DocuClock software initializes the connection with the configured Windows printer.

2 The user presses the "Time Stamp" button and the time stamp is sent to the printer. It sends the time, a message and text as specified in the DocuClock program.

The printer prints the time, a message and text as specified in the DocuClock program.
After printing, the printer is ready for the next stamp.
