TERMINOLOGY
Some information regarding of MX-300 terms as used in this manual:
PAY PERIOD ENDING
DATE
The MX-300 uses this parameter to determine when a time card is completed for a
given month and so the last entry for a month ends up on the bottom (orange side,
bottom row) of the time card.
DAY CHANGE TIME
The "Day Change Time" is the time of day that a normal business day starts. The
factory setting for the Day Change Time is 5:00. If an employee needs to clock out
on or after the set Day Change Time threshold, the employee simply needs to first
press the corresponding button and then their times for that shift will be kept on the
same row.
DAYLIGHT SAVING
TIME
If you wish to disable Daylight Saving Time, simply set the same date as the
D.S.T. Beginning and End Date and then current D.S.T. will be disabled.
If you enable Daylight Saving Time (D.S.T.), the clock will be automatically
moved forward by one hour at 2:00 AM on the starting day of D.S.T. and moved
back by one hour at 2:00 AM on the ending day of D.S.T..
CALCULATION
MODE
In addition to Regular Employee mode, the MX-300 can function in either Hourly
Workers with Fixed Shift mode or Hourly Workers with Open Shift mode.
Each mode is designed for different approaches to tabulating worker times. The
total daily time for hourly workers is printed on the time card after subtracting
break time.
HOURLY WORKERS
WITH FIXED SHIFT
MODE
This mode is optimized for managing part time workers that have various hourly
wages. Up to four time zones can be configured for these hourly workers and
calculations can be made individually for each zone.
HOURLY WORKERS
WITH OPEN SHIFT
MODE
This mode is designed for configuring a set Number of Regular Hours and then
treating anytime worked beyond those hours as overtime.
NO CALCULATION
This mode disables the calculation function. In this mode, the MX-300 will only
print the check-in and check-out times and won't automatically move to the
calculation column. The ALL-NIGHT button (
①
) and SPECIAL DAY button (
⑥
)
work in this mode. When this mode is activated, none of the settings made using
the regular employee and hourly worker programming cards are necessary.
ROUNDING UNIT
The "rounding unit" is used to round off the daily times for calculation of work
hours. For example, if the rounding unit is set to 15 minutes, the times will be
rounded off to intervals of 15 minutes and then calculated.
NO CAL
Like No Calculation mode, when this is configured, the calculation function is
disabled and the MX-300 will only print the times. However, unlike No
Calculation mode, the MX-300 will still perform Auto-Column-Shifting to position
at the appropriate print zone.
NUMBER OF
REGULAR HOURS
This parameter is used to configure the number of hours to be treated as a regular
shift so that overtime can be calculated based on time worked beyond this
parameter.
ALL-NIGHT
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 (
①
) and then their
time for that shift will be kept on the same row with the check-out time being
marked with an "A." ("M" if it was an all-night that started on a "Special Day.")
SPECIAL DAYS
If an employee works on a day designated as being special (holiday, et al), they can
press the corresponding button (
⑥
) to have their time identified with an "S" mark
so the time for that day will be calculated separately from weekday hours.
