3-14. Media (Total) to finalize transaction
A media is a method of payment for example cash or cheque. Up to 20 media buttons are available.
Media buttons may also be programmed as ‘pre
-
payment’ media. This enables vouchers
to be tendered at the
start of or during a sale and automatically be deducted from payment due. See d) Pre-payment media page 100.
A transaction can be closed by either pressing a MEDIA (MEDIA 01~20) key directly or pressing MEDIA
(MEDIA with no subject) to select one of MEDIA 01~20.
More than one media can be used if the customer is paying with mixed media. For example if the customer has
some vouchers and some cash.
a) Tendering (Closing methods)
Tendering is the term used to describe the money handed over by a customer to complete a transaction. There
are three different types of tendering:
Short Tendering
-
Not enough amount is received
Just Tendering
-
The exact amount is received
Over Tendering
-
Too much amount is received therefore change is required
When the exact amount is received, the transaction can be closed by pressing MEDIA key.
In the case of short or over tendering the amount received,
- Sign on a clerk.
-
Register the items.
- Enter the amount.
- Press MEDIA.
Also, you can use PRESET TENDER or SPECIAL MEDIA to close the transaction. See b) Preset tender and
c) Special media.

memorized in MEDIA 01 (CASH) memory.
