SPS 1000 Operation Manual Glossary of Terms  261
Initial Clear
The initial clear function allows you to exit any register activity and return to a
beginning or cleared state. Any transaction that is in progress will be exited and
totals for that transaction will not be updated.
IRC
Inter Register Communications (IRC) is the term used to describe communications
within a network of registers. Information exchanged between registers includes
check information for posting to guest checks, information to be printed or displayed
at printers or videos, and sales information for consolidated reporting.
The SPS 1000 uses ETHERNET at 10Mbps for IRC.
Job Codes
Job codes are used to break down the hours worked for all employees into different
categories (See "Labor Groups" report in the Operation Manual.) A breakdown of
hours by job is also reported for each employee (See "Time Keeping" reports in the
Operation Manual.)
Keyboard Level
Each keyboard level is a separately defined set of keyboard functions for each key on
the keyboard. For example, separate levels might be required for different
lunch/dinner menus. Or, within a restaurant different keyboards might be set up for
pre-check, bar and/or cashier stations. Each register might contain the functions for
each station on a separate level, so that any register could function at any station by
simply changing keyboard levels and key legend sheets.
The SPS 1000 has five keyboard levels.
Link PLU
If you wish the registration of a PLU to automatically cause the registration of
another PLU, enter the number of the PLU you wish to register automatically in the
LINK PLU field of the appropriate PLU Status Group.
Macro
Macros record key sequences for later execution. Up to 40 macros may be recorded
and executed by pressing a function key or by entering the appropriate macro number
and pressing a function key.
Memo PLUs
Use Memo PLUs to display a descriptor on the screen or print a descriptor at a
printer. Memo PLUs do not add to any total in the SPS 1000.
