On the K40 Pro look at the attendance records or the record count under the data menu. If it shows zero, no punches were saved; check the user was enrolled and the terminal is actually recording. ## IDs must exist Punches from unknown IDs may not appear against any employee. Add or sync the employee first. See [add an employee](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkbio-time-net-add-employee) and [duplicate IDs](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkbio-time-net-duplicate-employee-id). ## Try again 1. Select the device and click Get Transaction. 2. Choose a wide date range. 3. Watch for error lines in the pop-up. ## Fallback Use a USB drive. See [USB download](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkteco-k40-pro-usb-download-attendance-data). ## A typical scenario An office saw an empty list after Get Transaction. The date range ended the day before, and the terminal's date was wrong. After fixing the date and widening the range, the punches appeared. *Illustrative example based on common cases, not a named customer.* ## Common mistakes - Using a too-narrow range. - Wrong terminal date. - Employees missing in the software. - Device disabled. - Memory cleared earlier. ## Quick checklist 1. Test connection 2. Check status 3. Check terminal records 4. Widen range 5. Check IDs 6. USB fallback ## Frequently asked questions Can records be lost? If memory was full and the terminal overwrote or stopped, yes. See [memory full](https://qyvea.co.ke/zkteco-k40-pro-memory-full). Why do old days show but not today? The terminal's date may be wrong or the date range stops yesterday. Does the PC need to stay on? No, the terminal stores punches. Who can recover it? We can help remotely or on site.
