How to set the weekly pay period on the Seiko QR-375
When programmed as a weekly pay period, the print format on the Seiko QR-375 is fixed and can not be altered.
The print format on the time card is the day of the week followed by the time, eg:
Mo 15:30
Mo 3:30P
The print format on the time card is the day of the week followed by the time, eg:
Mo 15:30
Mo 3:30P
When programming the weekly pay period, the closing day value must represent the number of days remaining in the current pay period. If your pay period is ending today, the closing day value will be 0 (no days remaining).
In this example, today is Tuesday and we will be programming the pay period to end on a Sunday.
To obtain the closing day value, count as follows: Today/Tuesday (0), Wednesday (1), Thursday (2), Friday (3), Saturday (4) and Sunday (5). The closing day value will be 5.
For convenience, you may use the table below to determine the closing day value.
Firstly, find today from the left column1 and then the closing day (pay period ending on...2) from the top row. Where these two days meet will be the value to program as the closing day.
| Pay period ending on... | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Today | Mo | Tu | We | Th | Fr | Sa | Su 2 |
| Mo | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Tu 1 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| We | 5 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Th | 4 | 5 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Fr | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| Sa | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 0 | 1 |
| Su | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 0 |
