The battery-powered radio clock is +put between a parallel port and your printer. It receives the legal +German time, which is either CET or CEST, from the DCF77 transmitter +and uses it to set internal quartz clock. The DCF77 transmitter is +located near to Frankfurt/Main and covers a radius of more than 1500 +kilometers. + +<p>The driver requires that the pcfclock device driver be installed. +A device driver for Linux 2.2 is available at +<a href="http://home.pages.de/~voegele/pcf.html">the pcfclock driver +page</a>. +</p> + +<p>The driver uses C library functions to convert the received +timecode to UTC and therefore requires that the local timezone be +CET/CEST.
