This extra drawer provides sufficient space for miscellaneous items.
Operator and Customer Displays
Your cash register is equipped with two 9-digit Vacuum Florescent
Displays (VFD) that provide easy viewing for both the customer and
operator during a sales transaction. The operator display is located at the
front of the cash register and shows entry amounts and related transaction
information through the use of numbers, messages and special symbols.
The customer display is located at the rear of the cash register and shows
the same information as the operator display.
Reading the Display
The display is read from left to right as follows:
Department A set of digits indicating the department key pressed
for each entry.
Repeat/Multiply A digit displayed when repeating or multiplying items
to indicate the number of items entered at one price.
Amount
The remainder of the display shows the entry
amount.
Special Symbol Indicators
Special symbols appear at the far left-hand side of the displays during
cash register operation. These symbols identify the amount shown, or warn
of an error condition. They include:
C (Change) Indicates that the displayed amount is the change due to
the customer.
E (Error) Indicates when an error is made during operation or
when programming the cash register. An error tone sounds
to alert the operator.
S (Sub-total) Indicates that the amount shown is the subtotal of a
transaction, including sales tax if applicable.
= (Total) Indicates that the amount shown is the transaction total.
- (Minus) Displays a negative entry. Also displays if subtotal or cash
tendered
total is a negative number due to a return
or refund.
_ (Line) Indicates the clerk number in use.
Displayed when the [RA/FC] key is pressed to indicate
that the amount is displayed in foreign currency.
These symbols clear automatically when you start the next entry or
press the
[C]
key.
Time Display
You can display the current time outside of a sales transaction by simply
pressing the [Qty/Time] key with the cash register in either the R1 or R2
mode. Press the
[C]
key to clear the time from the display. In its default
setting, the cash register displays the time in the 12-hour format.
NOTE: Trying to use this feature during a transaction will result in an
error tone. If this occurs, press the [C] key to clear the error and
the tone.
