Record
Action codes currently have three different types defined. Type-1 action codes allow PLU
descriptions to be overridden for the PLUs they are linked to. Type-2 action codes allow
PLU store addresses to be overridden for the PLUs they are linked to. Type-3 action
codes are used for marquee text (marquee not available on Models 8360/8361).
Action code types 4-50 can be assigned but have no specific function associated with
them.
Types 1 and 2 action codes are assigned to PLUs through their identification number
(1-50) and can be linked to more than one PLU in any department. If an action code
with a type other than 1 or 2 is linked to a PLU, it will be ignored. Type-3 action codes
are downloaded to a satellite through the Unit Setup menu.
To edit action codes, touch EDIT followed by ACTION CODE RECORD to display the
numeric keyboard for the entry of an Extra Text number.
Edit Action Code
All action code records default to Type-0, which is inactive. To create an active record,
or edit an existing record, enter the action code record number or choose from the list
(touch the LIST key).
A message will appear with the action code number, type, and three options. Touch
CANCEL to return to the Action Code numeric keyboard, DELETE to delete the action
code text and change the type back to 0, or EDIT to display the Action Code Selection
screen.
Action Code Screens
Assign Type
The Action Code Selection screen permits changing the action code type by touching the
appropriate box. The SELECT OTHER TYPES box is available to create a new type (4-
50) through the numeric keyboard. After a type is assigned, the "title box" will change to
reflect the type chosen.
Edit Text
To edit the text, touch one of the TEXT: boxes to present the alphanumeric keyboard.
Enter the desired text, then touch ENTER. The text input will be two lines of 32 characters
(TEXT1: and TEXT2:) for types 1 and 2, or one line of 63 characters (TEXT:) for type 3-
50. If you attempt to save an action code that has text without assigning a valid type,
you will receive the UNUSED ACTION CODES (TYPE 0) CAN NOT HAVE TEXT LINKED TO
THEM message with the option to clear the text or change the type.
