Keyboard Legend Description
TARE
Tares are container weights. If you are using the scale function,
you can preset up to 5 different tare weights. The tare can be
subtracted automatically when a specific PLU is registered, or
manually inputting the tare number and pressing the TARE key
can subtract the tare. Tare #5 can be programmed for entering
tare weights manually.
TAX EXEMPT
Press the TAX EXEMPT key to exempt tax 1, tax 2, tax 3,
and/or tax 4 from the entire sale.
TAX (1-4) SHIFT
When pressed before a PLU entry, the tax shift keys reverse the
tax status of the PLU, i.e., a PLU with non-tax status would
become taxable or a PLU with tax status would become non-
taxable.
TIP
The TIP key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check
before payment.
The TIP key may be programmed as either a percentage or
amount. If programmed as a percentage, tax programming
defines whether the percentage is calculated on the net amount,
or the amount after taxes.
VOID
Use to correct an item entered earlier within a sale. The VOID
key corrects the appropriate totals and counters. To correct the
last item, use the ERROR CORR key. For void operations
outside of a sale (Transaction Void), use the VOID position on
the control lock. The Financial report records totals for each type
of void separately.
VALID
Validation requires an optional slip printer. Press the VAL ID key
to print a one-line validation on a separate form or piece of paper.
Any item registration, discount or payment may be validated.
WASTE
The WASTE key allows control of inventory by accounting for
items that must be removed from stock due to spoilage, breakage
or mistakes. Press the WASTE key before entering wasted
items, and then press the WAS TE key again to finalize. The
WASTE key may be under manager control, requiring the
control lock to be in the X position. The WASTE key is not
allowed within a sale.
