The print format can be selected from one of the following six styles.

When the Seiko QR-395 is programmed for calculation mode (card types C1 or C3), options 3 and 4 are unavailable.

Option	Description	Example
1	Date, 24 Hour	21 15:30

The Seiko QR-395 can print in 1/60 of an hour (regular minutes, :00 to :59) or 1/100 of an hour (decimal minutes, .00 to .99). 1/100 is often used if you need to enter values into a software application such as a spreadsheet or payroll package.

The minute type can be selected from one of the following two styles.

When the Seiko QR-395 is programmed for calculation mode (card types C1 or C3) and the Hundreths (1/100) minute type option is chosen, only the calculation is printed in Hundreths (1/100). The IN and OUT punches are always printed in Regular Minutes (1/60).

1	Regular Minutes (1/60)	8:43
2	Hundredths (1/100)	8.71

The print language can be selected from one of the following six styles.

This option is only available if the above print format includes the day of the week (options 2 and 6).
