Acroprint ES1000 Electronic Totalizing Payroll Recorder and Time Stamp Time Clock, Silver/Blue

My dad had Acroprint time clocks in his business for over 40 years. Built like tanks and worked every time. I carried on his tradition with the ES1000 (after some trials with other clocks). Although not built like a tank like my fathers clocks , the ES1000 has been extremely reliable. I can not imagine how many versions it took to get this clock to consider every obstacle and problem from power outage to missed punches to daylight savings. Features include tallied overtime column, red ink printing for early or late punches, tallied total column. In addition, date and time is printed on specially assigned cards to avoid any possibility of employee attempts at "double punching". Programing and customization is fairly easy with step by step instructions. These instructions are easier and more intuitive to follow than the other time clocks I tried. The unit is locked to avoid employee program tampering.While the unit itself is not very attractive looking, Acroprint has never been known for this. These clocks were made for the back office where reliability and function are key. The clock is easy for the employee to use. Simply drop in the assigned time card. The clock sucks in the card, automatically aligns to the proper row, prints in the proper column and spits the card out! No extra button pressing or card alignment is required as with other clocks I tried. The less complicated for employees to use, the better!The timecards are fairly cheap. And, since the unit prints on front and back, a card will last for 2 weeks or more of normal punching. After trying other (nicer looking) clocks, I have to admit that my dad got it right the first time. Acroprint came out on top with features, function and reliability!

the ink cartridge does not print clear on the time cards.

Purchased this time clock on 02/10/2016 for our 4 man shop. It started giving problems after about3 months, and now doesn't work at all. I've changed the ribbon twice to no avail --- it will not print legibly!Have used Acroprint ATR120 for years with success -- tried to upgrade!Hope to find out if they really honor 2 year warrantee --- I am dubious!!

Have been using this clock for 5 months now and it works great, easy to use. Have had no problems with it at all. We're ordering another one today for a second location of our business we're opening. Employees just stick the card in and it records time. They don't even have to press the in or out buttons. We thought at first they did, and there was always one person who'd press the in when they were clocking out because you know how people don't pay attention---then their cards wouldn't get totaled correctly. So don't even let them press the in or out buttons and everything is good.

Works most the time, but on occasion it does not push out our employees when they clock out.

Works as advertised, made of good quality. We have two of them and they last long time of use and abuse.

We needed a time stamp that provides clear printing and one that would hold up to high usage. This time stamp performs very well, especially given the high volume we have. I also have specific print needs which require custom output. This unit satisfies all of our requirements. We need to get a second unit soon and I will order another ES700.

I am satisfied with the clock, but I wish the stamping of the time would be a bit harder to show up on the 3 part time card better
