Amano CP5000 Time Clock for Clear, Accurate Time Cards (Top-Loading, Self-Aligning)
If your payroll process depends on paper records, the Amano CP5000 is built to deliver one thing consistently: clean, easy-to-audit time cards. Its self-aligning optical system automatically finds the correct print position and prints the next punch line-by-line—helping avoid overprinting, confusion, and time card disputes.
Time-card features that make payroll easier
- Self-aligning / consecutive printing: Helps keep punches neatly spaced and readable
- Drop-in card feed: Employees insert the card; the clock handles the alignment and print cycle
- Two-color printing: Use red print zones to highlight late arrivals or early outs
- Consistent date/time format: Clear, repeatable line printing for supervisors and payroll staff
- Flexible pay periods: Supports common payroll cycles used by Florida employers
Choosing the right time cards
The CP5000 uses popular C3000 and C3000-2 style time cards. If you want longer card life, the two-sided option can extend use by allowing punches on both sides. Using the right card format keeps weekly payroll faster, filing cleaner, and audits simpler.
Recommended time-card supplies
- C3000 time cards: Standard card option for CP5000 workflows
- C3000-2 (two-sided) time cards: Extend card usage and reduce reordering frequency
- 25-slot time card rack: Keeps employee cards organized at the clock
- Two-color ribbon: Maintain crisp, readable punches
Power outages & continuity
For locations where power interruptions happen, an optional Full Power Reserve battery can keep normal time clock operations running during an outage window. (External bell/buzzer signaling requires a separate power supply.)
