Glossary of Terms SAM4s ER-180T Operator's & Programming Manual v1.4
Currency Conversion
Use the currency conversion function to convert and display the value of the transaction in
foreign currency. Only cash tender is allowed after pressing the currency conversion
function. Change is calculated and issued in home currency.
Default Program
The original program installed in the ER-180T . The register has a default program which
makes it operational after a RAM clear. Nearly all option, rate, and status programs are set to
zero as the default condition.
Compulsory Amount Tendering
The change will always be computed by the register when a customer tenders an amount
greater than the total due. This will reduce cashier change errors.
Consecutive Number
A sequential number is printed on each receipt issued. This is not a “customer count” as the
number is incremented for non-sales activity such as no-sales and reports. A count of revenue
generating transactions (true customer count) is printed with the Net Sales total on the
financial report.
Department
Traditionally cash registers have category keys to separate sales by departments within the
store. For example, a grocery store may have grocery, meat and produce departments. When
a clerk enters items sold, they will input the amount of the item, and then press the
appropriate department the item is from. Management will get reports of activity and dollar
volume for sales in each of the store’s departments. Today, departments have considerable
flexibility. They may be “open” to accept price entries, or “preset” to automatically ring the
item’s price. Where price look-ups (PLUs) are used, each PLU reports its sales to one of the
departments.
Electronic Journal
The electronic journal is an area of memory designated to keep a sales journal. The
electronic journal can be printed, if necessary, to provide a traditional record of all register
activity.
Error Condition
An error condition signals that mis-operation has occurred. It is identified by an audible tone
and an error descriptor appearing on the display.
