Add a New User to the MK1000

Adding a new user to the MK1000 involves downloading the user setup file from the clock, updating it in Excel, and uploading it back. You can also register fingerprints or RFID cards for secure access. Follow these steps to complete the process:

2. Open the Setup File in Excel
3. Add the Employee to the Setup File

5. (Optional) Register Employee Finger Templates or RFID Cards

Notes:

• Uploading the User file from the PC will overwrite any existing users on the clock that have corresponding User ID.
• Uploading the User file from the PC will not overwrite any existing users that are not in the user file but on the clock, ie, the user file doesn't have User# 10 but User# 10 was manually entered on the clock.
