Programming Flag Options
Flag options are actions you can set for the cash register. These actions
include how the date appears, if the tax rate prints on receipts, if clerk
numbers are used, and so on.
34 Flags are available on your cash register. The Flags are preset by the
factory to meet the most commonly used actions. Each Flag setting can be
changed or updated at any time, if needed.
Note
All Flag action are factory preset at
0
, except for Flags 15, 18, 27, 28, 30, 33,
and 34 which have a default setting of
1
. Flag actions only need to be
changed if you want to change any action from the default setting.
If you change the language after programming is complete, descriptions
like logo, department and PLU names revert to their default descriptions
and you must reprogram them. The numeric amounts that you
programmed do not change.
Note
If you program custom messages or department descriptions, changing
languages does not translate those messages. Instead, they are deleted and
reset to the factory default for the message or description. Before you
program your messages, select the language you want the cash register to
be in.
After a Full System Clear, all settings go back to the default settings.
