Open **Device > Device** and select your K40 Pro. 2. Click **Get Transaction**. 3. Choose the date range (all new, or a custom range). 4. Watch the pop-up in the bottom corner for progress. 5. Wait for completion before closing the software. ## Check them Go to Attendance > Transaction, choose the employees and dates, and click Search. You should see one line per punch with the employee, time and device. If lines are missing, see [no records downloaded](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkbio-time-net-no-records-downloaded). ## How often - Daily, if you pay daily-paid staff. - Weekly for most offices. - Before every payroll close, always. Some versions can download automatically on a schedule when PUSH or auto-download settings are on. **Figure 1.** Attendance > Transaction lists every raw punch. ## Why a download does not change the terminal Get Transaction copies; it does not erase. The terminal keeps the punches until it is full or you clear them. See [memory full](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkteco-k40-pro-memory-full). ## Next step Run [Calculate](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkbio-time-net-calculate-attendance) so the punches become hours, late and overtime. **Tip**: If you have no network, use a USB drive: [USB download](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkteco-k40-pro-usb-download-attendance-data). ## A typical scenario A payroll officer downloaded punches only at month-end and found the terminal's memory had been nearly full. Weekly downloads, plus a check of the transaction list, removed the risk and made reports quicker. *Illustrative example based on common cases, not a named customer.* ## Common mistakes - Downloading with a narrow date range and missing days. - Closing the software mid-download. - Not checking the transaction list. - Clearing the terminal first. - Forgetting a second terminal. ## Quick checklist 1. Test connection 2. Choose date range 3. Get Transaction 4. Wait for completion 5. Check the list 6. Calculate ## Frequently asked questions Can I download records automatically? Some versions can. Look for an auto-download or push setting in the device options. Why do I see duplicates? The same punch can appear if downloaded twice; the software normally ignores exact duplicates. Check the transaction list. Do I need to be on the same network? Yes for TCP/IP. Otherwise use USB. How do I download older records? Choose a wider date range, as long as the terminal still holds them. This guide is part of our [ZKTeco K40 and ZKBio Time.Net series](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkteco-k40-zkbio-time-net-guides-kenya).
