Introduction
Sales units
Sales units are used in connection with the quantity of goods sold (metres, litres, etc.). Each PLU has a spe-
cific sales unit assigned which indicates the quantity of the goods sold. It is possible to program 8 specific
sales units with a maximum of three characters.
PLU
PLU (Price Look Up) is an abbreviation used to denote a specific product item. The PLU code represents the name
of the product, the sale price, its bar code and flags (assignment to a department, VAT level, PLU type, etc.).
For example: whole milk - 13.50 EUR, plain yogurt - 7.50 EUR.
The connection between departments and PLUs
The example in figure 1.2 clearly illustrates the relation between the departments and the product items
(PLUs).

Reports
Reports provide an overview of sales according to selected criteria (daily totals, periodical (e.g., monthly),
etc.). There are two basic types of reports: „X“ and „Z“.
„
X “ reports print out specific sales values (according to the report selected) without zeroing out this data in
the cash register memory.
„
Z “ reports print out the sales values of the selected report, and after the printing of these values, zeroes
out the cash register memory.
Notice: According to valid Slovak legislation, a report in „Z“ mode must always be printed out at the end
of each day.
Bar codes
A bar code is a graphic encoding of a number signifying a product according to strictly defined internatio-
nal regulations. If a product has a bar code assigned, the bar code is depicted on each packaging for this
product. The most frequently used codes for products in Europe are the 13-digit code according to the EAN
norm (EAN - 13) and the 8-digit code (EAN-8). The Euro-50TE Mini cash register is also capable of working
with EAN bar codes which contain an expanded 2 or 5-digit section.
