5. PROGRAMMING
NEGATIVE EXCEPTION
You can remove unwanted text from the screen using the VSI-Pro Max. The VSI-Pro Max displays data in the text block
11 lines by 40 characters wide for total of 440 characters. To remove unwanted messages from the register data you first
determine how the unwanted messages prints to the video. For example, a typical message which scrolls on the
customer display or appears on the video monitor.
The removing of the above string is referred to as the Negative Exception. Follow the following steps to program the
negative exception. Turn the display off for that exception. In the Exception String enter the words “WELCOME TO
XYZ SUPER” exactly as they appear on the screen, including spaces.

RANGE
Choices: 00,000,000.00-99,999,999.99
The Range defines the limits of the Operator. These are numeric only. As you can see from the following examples, the
range has two separate fields that are separated by a double-sided arrow. This format must be followed.
To program the range, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “RANGE” and press “Set”. The first “0”
in the range starts to flash. This means it is active and ready for programming. Press the “Up” or “Down” button to
cycle through the values and press “Set” when the desired value is displayed. This will advance the active block to
the next character. You can follow this format to program your range. When you have finished and want to set this range
into the VSI-Pro Max memory, simultaneously press and release the “Up” and “Down” buttons.
When you are ready to exit and continue on, simultaneously press and release the “Up” and “Down” buttons. This will
set the range in the VSI-Pro Max memory and exit you back to the previous menu.
OPERATOR
Choices: NONE, IN, OUT
The Operator determines the behavior of the Range. Think of the Operator in mathematical terms. Setting the
correct range and specifying “IN” or “OUT” will make the Operator perform “greater than”, “less than”, “equal to”, “in
the range”, or “out of the range” calculations.
With the VSI-Pro Max, you can define ranges for your exceptions and have the VSI-Pro Max alarm when an exception
falls within the range’s parameters or outside the range of the two numbers. The choices are “IN”, “OUT”, and “NONE”. To
program the operator, press the “Up” or “Down” button to move the cursor to “OPERATOR” 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. The range value can be from 0 to 99,999,999.00 to accomodate low value currency or high value transactions
in any currency.

The Negative Exception feature is only useful when the message is printed at the top of the printer for advertising on the
receipt given to the customer. For scrolling advertising messages on the Customer Display is handled by the “Scroll
Matching” Feature, Page 57. The Scroll Matching Feature is an automatic filter for one or two line scrolling advertising
messages.
