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.

A time card comprising:
- 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, and when combined to form a single value, the most and least significant values provide the time card identification;
- and
- a printing position indicator that identifies an initial printing position for the first and second card identifying sections to a time card recorder.
A time card recorder comprising:
- a reading means for reading, during a single insertion of a time card, first and second card identifying sections disposed on opposite faces of the time card, the reading means reading a most significant value provided in the first card identifying section and reading a least significant value provided in the second card identifying section;
