Price Look-Ups (PLUs)
A total of 200 Price Look Up (PLU) codes are available on this cash
register. The Price Look Up system allows for fast, accurate entry of an
item and automatically records the number of items sold.
There are two methods in programming PLUs. One method is to set
the PLU number with a preset price known as a Fixed PLU Price. The
second method is to set the PLU without a preset price, where you are
able to manually enter the price of an item while still having the sales
activity recorded under the PLU number on management reports, known
as an Open PLU Price (Sub-department). The Open PLU Price is
recommended for items whose prices change frequently.
Before getting started with programming PLUs, proceed with the
following three steps:
1. Make a list of the PLU numbers and their prices you wish to
program.
2. Decide whether you want the PLU number designated as a Fixed
PLU Price or an Open PLU Price. Note: The Fixed PLU Price does
not allow you to override or change a preset price in the register
mode whereas the Open PLU Price does
.
3. Determine if each PLU number requires tax or no tax. If tax is
required for a particular PLU number, be sure to link the PLU number
to a department that is programmed for tax. Likewise, if a PLU
number does not require tax, then link the PLU number to a department
not programmed for tax.
Programming PLU Status
The PLU status programming procedure should only be performed if
you are interested in the Open PLU Price (Sub-department) option.
Otherwise, proceed to the next section entitled "Programming PLU
Prices". The PLU status options are the following:
0 = Fixed PLU Price (the factory set default setting)
1 = Open PLU Price (Sub-department option)
Proceed as follows to program a PLU status:
1. Slide the control switch to the PRG position.
2. Press the
[PO]
key to begin programming the PLU status.
3. Type the [PLU number between 1 and 200], press the [PLU] key,
type the [PLU Status number] and then press the [Department]
key. Use the
[Dept Shift]
key for departments from 9 to 16.
4. Repeat step 3 for all desired PLU numbers.
5. Press the [PO] key to finish programming the PLU status.
6. Continue to the next section on programming the PLU Price.
Example: Create PLU 6 with an open PLU price status to
Department 6.
Type/Press:
[PO] + [6] + [PLU] + [1] + [Department 6/14] + [PO]
