1600E Tru-Align Time Clock

Time clock and document stamp with Tru-Align™

Super-bright LED light for easy viewing

The 1600E employee time clock's large LCD display shows date, time and day of the week and a bright LED light illuminates the Tru-Align print area for easy viewing. With a sleek compact design and small footprint, the 1600E mounts easily to wall or can be used on a table top.

Tru-Align™ perfect punch every time

Tru-Align™ provides fast printing and exact print alignment. Using the optional Tru-Align compatible time cards, Tru-Align technology senses when the printer is aligned correctly with the proper space on the time card and only then will it automatically trigger an imprint. This guarantees that your employees make the perfect-punch on their time cards every time. The whisper-print technology delivers extremely quiet time card punches and printing. Prints date and messages and time in AM/PM or 24HR format including seconds.

The versatility of an employee time clock or document stamp

As a time clock, the 1600E records employees' in and out times for payroll processing. As a job clock it can track project time for accurate costing. And as a document stamp, the 1600E can print the date, time and preset messages on important documents. Includes over 200 different time, date and comment print formats available and with an easy to change ribbon cartridge the 1600E is very low maintenance.

I would recommend this time clock to companies looking for a dependable time keeper. Being a small company the ribbon lasted four years so it is very economical for us.

I use it in a professional kitchen to document ticket times. Works great, this is my second one, not because the first one failed, but because my staff accidentally melted it...Seriously

Still getting familiar with it. We had a cheaper one before that lasted 3-4 years. Hoping for the price this one works a little longer but it seems nice.

Had an older model 10 plus years old that finally died. Lots of hunting for options and we came right back to the Lathem. My only complaint is that it not the last one we had can’t quite line up and print vertically on the card exactly between the lines. Does not effect use, just bugs me, lol. Getting it set the way you want is a bit challenging at first, but manageable. Love the atomic clock feature!
