limited to 5. The host software will decide the number of hours
that should be downloaded and the text label for each hour type.

Lock-In Schedule: The MTX-15 supports the ability to restrict
the employee to a certain time period. The schedules are
configured and downloaded from the Amano Time & Attendance
software. Each employee can have his/her own schedule for
each day with a grace time period configured for all employees
through the software. The terminal will allow the user to punch
during the grace period. For example, if there is a 15 minute
grace period for start time and a 30 minute grace period for end
time, the terminal will allow the user to punch between 7:45AM to
5:30PM for a normal 8:00AM – 5:00PM schedule. Once this time
period is expired, the terminal will restrict the user from making a
punch on the terminal.
Unlock Schedule: If the employee has passed the scheduled
time to punch, the supervisor has the ability to unlock the
schedule to allow the employee to punch. When the employee
table is downloaded, there is one field that distinguishes between
the regular employee and the supervisor. Only a supervisor is
allowed to override the schedule so the employee can punch.
