How to set the year print style on the Seiko TP-5

The Seiko TP-5 can print the year in either the short 2 digit format proceeded by an apostrophe, or the full 4 digit format and can be selected from one of the following two styles.



If you need to set or alter the year print style on your Seiko TP-5 time clock, follow the procedure below.

1. If you haven't already done so, with power applied to the Seiko TP-5, unlock and remove the top cover.




2. Press the SELECT button as required to position the "" mark under the YEAR DIGIT option.




If the display shows "9999" when entering program mode, you are required to enter the four digit password to proceed.

See How to input the password on the Seiko TP-5 for more information.


3. The year print style option value will be flashing.  If necessary, press the CHANGE button to alter the option value.
   
   
   
   Press the SET button to complete the procedure.





4. If you don't need to alter any further settings, press SET one more time to ensure you have exited program mode.


If you don't press the SET button to complete programming, the TP-5 will remain in program mode and will not accept time cards or documents.




5. Replace and lock the top cover.
