Charge Posting Function Keys
CHECK #
(ACCT #)
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. You may
wish to reprogram the descriptor of the CHECK # key to ACCT#.
P/BAL
Use to manually enter the amount of an outstanding balance. The P/BAL key
is not used when hard or soft check posting is used.
SERVICE
(HOUSE CHRG)
Use to temporarily finalize Previous Balance or house account transactions. (If
you are using a hard check system, you must program the SERVICE key for
the port where the slip printer is connected.) You may wish to reprogram the
descriptor of the SERVICE key to HOUSE CHRG.
PAYMENT
Press to make a payment, partial payment, or pre-payment while posting to a
check (account). If the payment amount exceeds the check balance, a credit
balance will be maintained.
PAY TEND
The PAY TEND key functions like the PAYMENT key, except if the
payment amount exceeds the check balance, the overpayment will be issued as
change and the account balance will be zeroed.
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.
FINALIZE
Pressing the FINALIZE key before closing a check will close the account and
the account number will no longer be reported on the open check report.
