Memory Allocation
Memory allocation is a program that determines how the system memory is divided
to provide the correct features for your application. For example, you may require
more or less employee memory, PLUs, or reporting. Memory allocation allows you
to maximize the features you need while minimizing the features you do not need.
Modifier
Preceding a PLU entry, a modifier key changes a digit of the PLU number, causing a
different PLU to be registered. Modifier keys can be set to change any of the 14 PLU
digit positions to any specified digit (0-9). More than one modifier key can be
pressed in succession to alter the PLU code.
No Sale
No sale is an operation to simply open the cash drawer.
NON-PLU Code
The NON-PLU Code program must be set if you wish to scan UPCs (using the EAN
13 code) with embedded prices, weights or quantities.
Within the EAN 13 code, the first two digits (part a) are used as an identifier and the
last digit (part c) is used as a check digit. The remaining 10 digits (part b) contain the
product code and the price (or weight or quantity).
Override
Override is an operation used to bypass a programmed price or HALO.
Password
A four digit password can be set to control access to reports. Different passwords can
be set for X and Z1, Z2 etc. reports.
A system password can be set to allow service access to all of the functions of the
SPS 1000. For example, use the system password if you are servicing a users system
and you do not know an employee code that allows you to access necessary functions,
or if authority level programming prohibits you from accessing functions you need to
access in order to complete your tasks.
Piece Count
The piece count is the value assigned to a PLU item that represents the number of
unit pieces sold when the PLU is registered. For example, the number of pieces of
