Keyboard Legend Description
CLERK
The register will not operate in register mode unless a clerk has
been signed on. Clerk sign-on is accomplished by “direct” or
“secret code” sign-on.
All entries made on the register will report to one of the clerk
totals. When a clerk is signed on, all entries following will add
to that clerk’s total until another clerk is signed on. However, a
clerk cannot be changed in the middle of a transaction.
To sign a clerk off, thereby displaying the “CLOSED” message
on the display, enter 0, and then press the CLERK key. This
disables the register until another clerk is signed on. The current
clerk must first be signed off before another clerk may be signed
on.
CONV (1 - 4)
The currency conversion function, allowed after subtotal,
converts and displays the new subtotal at a preprogrammed
exchange rate. Tendering is allowed after using the currency
conversion function. Change is calculated and issued in home
currency. The amount of foreign currency tendered is stored in a
separate total on the Financial report, but not added to the drawer
total.
EAT-IN
TAKE OUT
DRIVE THRU
Eat-In, Take Out and Drive Thru are subtotal functions. In areas
that have different tax rules for eat-in and take out sales, the
EAT-IN, TAKE OUT and DRIVE THRU keys can be
programmed to automatically charge or exempt taxes. Sales may
not be split between Eat-In, Take Out and Drive Thru. The EAT-
IN, TAKE OUT and DRIVE THRU keys maintain separate
totals on the Financial report.
ERROR CORR
Use to correct the last entry. The ERROR CORR key corrects
the appropriate totals and counters.
F/S SHIFT
When pressed before a PLU entry, the F/S SHIFT key reverses
the preprogrammed food stamp status of the PLU. For example,
an item not food stamp eligible can be made food stamp eligible.
F/S SUB
Displays the amount of the sale that is food stamp eligible.
F/S TEND
Use to tender food stamps for eligible sales.
GUEST #
Use to enter the count of guests served as part of a guest check.
KBD SHIFT
Use to shift the keyboard level. Enter 1 or 2 and press the KBD
SHIFT key to change to the appropriate level. A manager key
(X-Mode) may be required.
MACRO (1-10)
Macro keys may be programmed to record, and then later
perform, up to 50 keystrokes.
For example, a macro key could be set to tender (preset tender) a
common currency, such as $5 into the cash key.
RETURN
Used to return or refund merchandise. Returning an item will
also return any tax that may have been applied.
