Enable Automatic Column Shifting on an ATR480 Follow
Automatic Column Shifting allows you to schedule shifts on your Acroprint ATR480 Totalizing Time Recorder. Set up to 12 scheduled shifts, moving the printout to the right, by specifying the time (hours and minutes) and days the column shifts should occur. Automatic column shift settings are only available if No Pay Period/Work Mode is set.
