2-1-2 makes it clear that the scorer and timer are to assist the referee and umpire(s).
". . . The game officials shall be a referee and an umpire or a referee and two umpires who shall be assisted by an official timer and scorer."
They are part of the officials crew and according to 2-11-2 have a duty to inform them of such things.
". . . Notify the nearer official when there is an infraction of the rules pertaining to submission of the roster, substitutions or numbers of players."
Pretty black and white, if you ask me.
PS Technically, this is a duty of the scorer not the timer, even though you inquired about the "clock operator."
