Abstract

A time card may have first and second card identifying sections disposed on opposite faces of the time card. The first card identifying section stores a most significant value of an identification of the time card, and the second card identifying section stores a least significant value of the card's identification. When combined to form a single value, the most and least significant values provide the time card identification. Also, a printing position indicator on the card identifies an initial printing position for the first and second card identifying sections to a time card recorder.
