Abstract
A time recorder includes a digital display and a printer for printing selected information including time, date, comment and number. A removable cover covers programming text which surrounds the display. During programming, the cover is removed to expose the text and accept and change buttons which allow a user to accept or change entries in several printing and other categories. Programming entries are indicated either directly or through codes which are described in the programming text. Customized comments may be generated by a user. A character count is maintained on the display during programming. The display is inverted by the user to allow orientation of the time recorder for table or wall mounting.
