
Check whether the column of your time card is already
completely filled with imprints. If all positions are already
occupied by an imprint, two beeps will sound, and the card will
be rejected without making an imprint.

Check the condition of the time card. If there is dirt, oil, dust, or
ink residue on the card, the time card sensors cannot read the
Column Position Block .

Verify the imprint position. If the Column Position Block is
positioned on artwork or a column line, the time card sensor will
read this as a column full condition.

A non-Amano ribbon was used. Always use Amano approved
ribbons, non-Amano ribbons bind in the printer carriage, and
produce weak quality prints, and ink residue on print head,
rollers, and time card.

The background color of your time card is too dark
