UPC file
Your POS terminal has a UPC main file and can provide a Dynamic UPC (D-UPC) file.
UPC main file
In general use, all UPC items are managed in the UPC main file.
The programming data and sales information is recorded in the UPC main file.
Dynamic UPC file
If the dynamic UPC file is allocated, the items entered by the UPC learning function (refer to “UPC
learning function” section.) are saved in this file temporarily. (If not generated, they are directly saved in
the UPC main file.) The data saved temporarily can be transferred to the UPC main file when necessary
by executing the D-UPC LOAD in the PGM2 mode.
If you want to use the dynamic UPC file, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.
