Not Found PLU
The “Not Found PLU” feature is available at software version 7.8. It is suggested for use when an
optional scanner is used to input PLUs. If an item is scanned that is not programmed in the PLU file,
the operator has the option to input the price of the item and assign it the same descriptor and
properties of another PLU, or enter the descriptor and tax status independently. This provides a simple
mechanism for building an item file for a low-cost scanning installation.
Note: Beginning at software version 9.1 the ECR error will sound continuously when a not
found PLU item is entered. The operator is forced to press CLEAR before the NOT FOUND
PLU message is displayed. This change was made to prevent the operator from scanning
additional items while unaware of the not found PLU item.
