All-Night Hours (Working Past the Day Change Time Threshold)
The MX-300 is capable of treating shifts that extend over the configured Day Change Time setting as
one day ("Day Before") by keeping the In and Out times on the same row and totaling them as one day.
The "Day Change Time" is the time of day that a normal business day starts. The MX-300 is shipped
with the Day Change Time configured to 3:00. Left as is, this means that all work performed from 3:00
to 2:59 the next day is treated as one day and the corresponding times are printed and totaled on the
same row on the time card.
Example: Day Change Time = 5:00
If an employee needs to clock out on or after the Day Change Time threshold, the employee simply needs
to first press the corresponding button (
c
) and then the corresponding OUT time will be punched on the
same line as the IN time from the same day. The corresponding all-night work hours will be calculated
separately in the monthly totals.
Example: An employee clocks in at 8:25 on the 16
th
and then clocks out at 6:25 on the 17
th
when the Day Change Time is set to 5:00.

Special Day Hours
The MX-300 can treat holidays and irregular days (e.g., days when the hourly wage is different than
normal) as "Special Days" (that will be marked with an "S" on the time card) and then perform individual
monthly totals for the regular hours and overtime of all days designated as "Special."
No programming is necessary to use this feature. All that is required is for employees to press button
h
when clocking into work on a "Special" day. The hours worked that day will then be treated as "Special"
during totaling. (This feature can be used by both regular employees and hourly workers.)
An "S" mark is added.
An employee clocks out at 4:59 on the 17
th
. Their
OUT time is kept on the same row the IN from the
same day because the next day had not started yet.
(TOTAL shown here will vary due to other time
configurations.)
An employee clocks out at 6:25 on the 17
th
. Since the
employee has crossed over the Day Change Time threshold,
their OUT time will be treated as the IN time on the next day,
resulting in the MX-300 not being able to total their time for
the corresponding shift.
Even if it is after the Day
Change Time, the
employee simply needs to
press button
c
and then
their
OUT time is kept
on the same row as
the IN from the same
day
and the "all-night"
mark (A) will appear after
the OUT time.
If the employee presses
button
c
their time and
overtime will be totaled
(normal hours for hourly
workers as they don't have
"all-night" time). (TOTAL
shown here will vary due
to other time
configurations.)
Since the employee has
crossed over the Day
Change Time threshold,
their OUT time will be
treated as the IN time on
the next day.
This results in the
MX-300 not being
able to total their time
for the corresponding
shift.
