Function Keys
Although none of the functions necessary for check tracking operations appear on the default
keyboard, any or all of the following functions can be located on the keyboard:
CHECK #
The CHECK # key is used to begin a new, or access an existing balance
(hard check) or itemized bill (soft check.)
Check track numbers that are entered manually may be set at a fixed length
of one to nine digits. Check track numbers assigned automatically will
begin with #1.
Existing checks are accessed by entering the check track number and
pressing the CHECK# key. In a drive thru system, simply pressing the
PBAL key will recall the oldest open balance (lowest check track #).
GUEST
Use to enter the count of guests served as part of a guest check. The entry of
a guest count can be enforced when opening a guest check, or for all
transactions.
P/BAL
Use to enter the amount of an outstanding balance. The P/BAL key will take
the recall function if the drive thru feature is enabled in CHECK # key
programming.
SERVICE
Use to temporarily finalize Previous Balance or check tracking transactions. (If
you are using a hard check system, you must program the SERVICE key for
the port where the slip printer is connected.)
TABLE
You can enforce the entry of a table number for guest check transactions, or for
all transactions. If you are tracking guest check balances, the balance can be
recalled either by entering the check number or the table number.
PRINT CHECK
Use to print a guest check. The check can be printed on an optional (RS-
232C) printer, or can be printed on the receipt printer. The PRINT CHECK
key can be set to automatically service the check.
TIP
The TIP key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before payment.
The tip amount is deducted from the Cash-in-Drawer amount for the
Clerk/Cashier closing the guest check.
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 (taxable = no) amount, or the amount
after taxes.
See "Function Key Assignment" in the "Service Mode Programming" chapter to place the
functions necessary for your application. See "Function Key Programming" in the
"Program Mode Programming" chapter to set the options for each function.
