Generated check digit – 7t numeral; randomly generated element for the final check-
sum, according to the EAN norm,
Amount / Price – 8t–12t numeral; the content of this field is pre-determined by the

the amount encoded as e. g. 03215 is 3.215 lbs (the amount is, by default, set to three
decimal places) and the price encoded as e. g. 03215 is  32.15 (the price is, by default,
set to two decimal places),
Generated checksum – 13t numeral; generated checksum according to the EAN norm.
The weighed barcodes are processed the same as standard barcodes—scan them using the
barcode scanner. Decoding of the weighed barcode follows this procedure (using the sample
weighed barcode from figure 4.4):
• firstly, the cash register looks up PLU 2900010000000 or 290001 in its database,
• if no such PLUs are found, then the barcode is decomposed accordingly and PLU
described on 3rd to 6t position is used in registration.
Corrections
Incorrectly typed data can be erased before it is entered by using Clear key (
x
/
x
), this
erases all the typed data—whatever it is: wrongly transcribed barcode, incorrect multiplica-
tion, etc. The scanned barcode cannot be erased in this way, it has to be voided. In the PLU
list window, mistyped PLU/name can be corrected using the
Backspace key (
-
).
Operation voidance
The operation can be cancelled even after it has been, mistakenly, entered. The void is al-
lowed on the sale items, surcharges/discounts, refunds, or the entire sale (so called subtotal
voidance). Conversely, the void is not allowed on descriptive PLUs, already completed sales
or other voids.
The voidance of the immediately preceding operation is performed by pressing the Void key
(
v
/
v
), that will void said operation. If a more recent operation has to be voided (within
current sale), look up the operation using the
I K
keys or by browsing to and tapping the
operation on the touch sensitive display and then press the Void key.
If you intend to void an entire sale, perform the subtotal first, and void it then using the Void
key. Confirm the ‘ST voidance’ query by pressing the Subtotal key, the entire sale will be
voided and its receipt will be shown as ‘
Voided receipt
’.
Refund
This operation is used mainly in handling customer complaints in cases when a monetary re-
fund is issued. This operation begins by pressing the
Refund key (
r
/

) and entering the
refunded item immediately afterwards (by entering PLU, scanning a barcode, or picking up
from the PLU list).

tain purchase volume. Customer number can be
