Function Keys and Options
Functions necessary for restaurant operations may not appear on the default keyboard. Any or all of
the following functions can be located on the keyboard. See " Function Key Assignment
Programming” on page 82 if it is necessary to locate these keys on your keyboard.
CHECK #
The
CHECK #
key is used to begin a new, or access an existing balance
(hard check) or itemized bill (soft check.) Existing checks are accessed by
entering the check track number and pressing the
CHECK#
key. The
Check # key may be set with the following options:
A check must be started before items may be entered.
The clerk that opens the check has exclusive access.
Only one check may be allowed per table.
The check # may be automatically assigned by the register.
Check track numbers that are entered manually may be set at a fixed
length of one to nine digits. Check track numbers assigned
automatically will begin with #1.
In a drive thru system, simply pressing the
PBAL
key will recall the oldest
open balance (lowest check track #).
GUEST
Use to enter the count of guests served as part of a guest check. The entry of a
guest count can be enforced when opening a guest check, or for all
transactions.
P/BAL
Use to enter the amount of an outstanding balance. The
P/BAL
key will take
the recall function if the
drive thru
feature is enabled in
CHECK #
key
programming.
SERVICE
Use to temporarily finalize Previous Balance or check tracking transactions. (If
you are using a hard check system, you must program the
SERVICE
key for
the port where the slip printer is connected.)
TABLE
You can enforce the entry of a table number for guest check transactions, or for
all transactions. If you are tracking guest check balances, the balance can be
recalled either by entering the check number or the table number.
PRINT CHECK
Use to print a soft check. The check can be printed on an optional (RS-232C)
printer, or can be printed on the receipt printer. The
PRINT CHECK
key can
be set to automatically service the check.
TIP
The
TIP
key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before payment.
The
TIP
key may be programmed as either a percentage or amount. If
programmed as a percentage, tax programming defines whether the
percentage is calculated on the net (taxable = no) amount, or the amount
after taxes.
