Common uses include department transfers, tips collected, job codes, or pay codes. Multi-level data entry sequences may be defined. Organizations can also set the data management keys to allow employees to review their past punches. To reduce keystrokes, the keys can also be set to automatically enter data such as a frequently used department number or in/out status. The HandPunch 2000 holds 5120 transactions and handles up to 512 users. Using biometrics to automate the collection of time and attendance data can reduce buddy punching (one employee clocking in or out for another), manual data review and correction time, and payroll error. HandPunch terminals, which use hand geometry to increase reliability and reduce privacy concerns over fingerprint and other biometric technologies, are used in more biometric time and attendance systems than any other biometric technology. Over six million people throughout the world clock in and out of work with a hand geometry reader. Deployed properly, the HandPunch can deliver a payback in fewer than nine months. In addition to the HP 2000 HandPunch terminal, the EN-200 Ethernet Communications Module can also be installed in HandPunch 3000 or HandPunch 4000 terminals. The module is already installed in the HandPunch 1000E and HandPunch 3000E.
