HANDSHAKE

Choices: ON, OFF

Handshaking is an electrical signal that tells the cash register or computer that the VSI-Pro is ready to receive data. It

may not be necessary and/or need not be connected to an outgoing signal from the cash register or computer since the

VSI-Pro does not require handshaking. The VSI-Pro handshaking signal is always true signally the cash register or

computer to send data.

Handshaking guarantees that the internal buffer is not over run or text is not lost. Most AVE interfaces do not support this

function. Also since the VSI-Pro has a 20K buffer this feature is generally not required.

Press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “HANDSHAKE” and press “Set”. The cursor will start flashing.

Press the “Up” or “Down” button to cycle through the values and press “Set” when the desired value is displayed.

Choices: ON, OFF

Auto Linefeed makes the VSI-Pro append a CR/ LF after each displayed line. The default of this function is “ON”, but if

“Set”. The cursor will start flashing. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to cycle through the values and press “Set” when the

desired value is displayed.

5.7 EXCEPTION REPORTS

EXCEPTION REPORT OVERVIEW

The Exception Report gives you the option to assign an on-screen flag, trigger an alarming device, or send data to

another serial device on any questionable transaction that you have preprogrammed into the VSI-Pro. The VSI-Pro will

allow programming of up to 24 separate exceptions. These exceptions can be VOIDS, REFUNDS, COUPONS, PAID

OUT, RETURNS, individual departments, specific items, or any transaction that you determine (by programming) to be

“exceptional” or questionable.

You may even set ranges for the exceptions. For example, all transactions over $100, between $8.00 and $25.00, or

lower than $10 and greater than $25.00, all transactions by a specific cashier, or whatever transactions you need to

watch exceptionally close.
