About Tru-Align
The 1600E’s unique Tru-Align option ensures that employee punches are perfectly aligned on the
time card. A sensor on the unit reads special markings on Tru-Align time cards and prints
automatically when the card is properly aligned. This eliminates misaligned punches and
overprinting of lines, and provides a clean and easy to read time card.
Tru-Align Time Cards
Tru-Align requires the use of Lathem’s special Tru-Align Time Cards. These cards contain
special markings that allow the 1600E to print automatically when the card is aligned, and
Tru-Align is enabled. See instructions below to enable Tru-Align. A pack of E16 Weekly
Tru-Align Time Cards are included. You can purchase additional Tru-Align Time Cards online
at http://shop.lathem.com.
Enabling Tru-Align
By default, Tru-Align is Off.
To enable Tru-align, follow two easy steps:
1. Set Print Position Adjuster – the print position adjuster on the
bottom of the units must be set to the back position indicated by
the label. (See next page).
2. Set Print Activation – change the Print Activation to
option (4) Tru-Align. (See page 19).
Tru-Align Indicator
When Tru-Align is enabled, the Tru-Align
indicator will display on the bottom right corner
of the unit’s LCD display.
Using Tru-Align
Insert Tru-Align time cards into 1600E with
leading edge containing alignment marks. The
1600E will print automatically when the card
is aligned in the print cell. If the card is misaligned,
adjust the card position slightly until printing occurs.
