Level / Modifier Options
Default Price Level
The terminal has five prices per product where the price can be allocated from
any one of twenty price bands.
This option determines which price level will be loaded as standard when the
machine is turned on. The Price Level keys will be required to switch from this
level to an alternative.
Price Level
The switch between levels can be programmed in three ways. Firstly STAY DOWN,
in this instance when a Price Level key is used, the new screen page selected will
remain until the Price Level key is pressed.
The second option is POP UP; this forces the price to return to the default price
level, when for the next item.
The third option TRANSCATION POPUP allows the level to stay during one
transaction before returning to the original price level.
PLU Mod Keys
Preceding a PLU entry a modifier key changes one digit of the PLU number,
causing a different PLU to be registered. MODIFIER Keys can be set to change
either the item code or the description only.
This option is to determine whether the effected the modifier key is to stay active
until another selection is made. This is referred to as Stay Down. The alternative
is that the change takes effect solely for that product and normal operation will
be resumed when the next product is sold. This is called POP UP.
The third option allows the level to stay down one transaction before returning to
original settings.
For example to modify the 3rd digit of a number by 2 would be 1 = 201 1001 =
1201 etc ideal for different sizes etc i.e. PLU 1 Pint 201 Half-Pint etc. Modifier
keys can also be used for a different function. They act as text print keys,
modifying the description only of a product sold, providing instructions for
products to be printed on receipts, KP orders etc.
Apply Modifier To Code
Entry PLUs
The modifier change as outlined above can be programmed for screen items

If Yes, only the last modifier entry will affect the PLU number. Use this setting

affecting different digit positions could be entered that will the PLU registered.
