2. The control method for the mechanism of a thermal paper card time attendance machine according to claim 1, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1, Insert paper card (2): Gently insert the attendance card into the attendance card insertion port, i.e., the paper card inlet / outlet (6), and the attendance card will be automatically sucked in; Step 2, Automatic displacement and card-taking: The attendance machine body (1) automatically displaces and takes attendance; Step 3, Paper card (2) pops out: After the paper card (2) is taken out, it will automatically pop out to complete the attendance.

3. The control method for the mechanism of a thermal paper card time attendance machine according to claim 2, characterized in that: Before inserting the paper card (2) in step one, you need to set the year, month, and day. Open the electronic lock (7) with the key and turn on the power. You can then use the "OK" key, the "Left" key, and the "Right" key to make the settings. Press the "OK" key to enter the setting item. You will see the selected setting item's font flashing on the time display screen (4). When it flashes, press the "Left" key or the "Right" key to adjust the value. After setting, lock the top cover. Press the "OK" key to enter the year, month, and day settings. Press the left or right key to change the "year" and press the "OK" key to save and enter the next setting. Press the left or right key to change the "month" for the 2009 year display and press the "OK" key to save and enter the next setting. Press the left or right key to change the "day" and press the "OK" key to save and enter the next setting.

4. The control method for the mechanism of a thermal paper card time attendance machine according to claim 3, characterized in that: Before inserting the paper card (2) in step one, you need to set the day of the week, hour, and minute. Press the "OK" key to enter the day of the week, hour, and minute settings. Press the left or right key to change the "day of the week" and press the "OK" key to save and enter the next setting. Among them: Sunday is displayed. Press the left or right key to change the "hour" and press the "OK" key to save and enter the next setting. Among them: 8 hours. Press the left or right key to change the "minute" and press the "OK" key to save and enter the next setting. Set the cross-day time. The time display screen (4) displays "C0" on the left and the cross-day time on the right. When the hour flashes, press the "left" or "right" key to adjust the value. Press Click "OK" to save and continue setting the minutes. Once the minutes are set, click "OK" to save and proceed to the next item setting. If overtime ends before 00:00 that night, this setting will not be used. If not set, it will be displayed as: If overtime starts that night and ends the next morning, this setting will be used.
