Lathem E8 Weekly Thermal Time Cards – 1,000 Count
Lathem E8 weekly thermal time cards are designed for use with compatible Lathem thermal print employee time clocks that track time on a weekly pay cycle. Each card records one full work week, making the E8 format a practical choice for businesses that run weekly payroll or prefer shorter reporting periods for timekeeping accuracy.
Thermal time cards are used with direct thermal print time clocks, which create printed punches using heat rather than ink ribbons. When paired with approved Lathem thermal clocks, E8 weekly cards produce clear, high-contrast time and date impressions without the need for ribbon replacement. This helps reduce ongoing maintenance while supporting consistent payroll records.
Compatible Lathem Thermal Time Clocks
E8 weekly thermal time cards are intended for Lathem time clocks that support the E-series weekly card layout. These cards are commonly used with Lathem thermal print models such as the 2100HD heavy-duty thermal time clock and other Lathem clocks designed for E-series cards. Proper card format ensures correct alignment and reliable printing.
Benefits of Weekly Thermal Time Cards
- Tracks a complete weekly pay period on one card
- No ink ribbons required with thermal print clocks
- Clear printed punches for accurate payroll review
- Simplifies card distribution and collection
Storage and Handling Guidelines
Thermal time cards should be stored in a cool, dry environment and protected from excessive heat or prolonged sunlight exposure. Proper storage helps maintain print clarity throughout the work week. When inserting a card into the clock, ensure it is fully seated so the printer activates at the correct position for each punch.
Choosing the Correct Card Format
Using the correct thermal card format is essential for reliable time clock operation. Cards not designed for thermal printing may result in faint or incomplete punches.
