Abstract
The present invention provides a time recorder with a card feed rate adjustment function making it possible to print data for arrival and departure times to and from a job side at a correct position within a print column by adjusting a feed rate for a time card according to extension or shrinkage of the time card or characteristics of the time card such as a printing state within the print column. An adjustment value is computed by reading a start point and an end point printed on a time card TA or TB inserted into the time recorder with the mark sensors and counting a feed rate for the time card TA or TB from the start point to the end point with the encoder sensor and a feed rate for the car is adjusted according to the computed adjustment value.
