Program 1500 - Macro Key Sequence Programming
Macros are special function keys that are used to execute a sequence of key depressions. For example,
a macro might be used to execute a string of reports or to automatically tender a preset amount. Up to
ten different macros may be placed on the keyboard. (See "Function Key Assignment Programming”
on page 81 to place macros on the keyboard.)
To Program a Macro
1. Turn the control lock to the P position.
2. To begin the program, enter 1 5 0 0, press the SBTL key.
3. Press
the
Macro key that you wish to program.
4. Optionally, you can turn the key lock to the to the position where you wish the macro to
set the register. For example, if wish the macro to set the key lock to X to run a report,
turn the key lock to X. When used in the REG position, the macro will set the register to
X and run the report. If you do not adjust the key lock here, the macro will execute the
programmed keystrokes in any key position.
5. Press up to 50 keystrokes that you wish the macro to execute.
6. Return the key lock to the P position and press the macro key to finalize.
7. Repeat from step 3 to program additional macros. Press the CASH key to finalize the
program.
To Remove a Macro
If you wish to change a macro sequence change the function key assignment of the key to ‘Inactive’,
and then reassign the macro function and reprogram the keystrokes as shown above. (See “Function
Key Assignment Programming” on page 81.)
