Abstract
A dual-line time recorder includes a barrel cam, printer, motor, and slide plate. The motor rotates the barrel cam. The rotational motion of the barrel cam translates into lateral movement of the printer in forward and reverse directions. A slide plate is adapted for moving the printer in a transverse direction relative to the barrel cam between a first line of print and a second line of print. After printing in a forward direction along a first line of print, the slide plate shifts the printer for printing along a second line of print in the reverse direction. After printing in a reverse direction, the slide plate shifts the printer back to its original position. The printer is fully programmable for printing a variety of data on the print medium.
