ERROR CONDITIONS
__________________________________________________________________
THE ERROR ALARM SYSTEM
The error alarm system warns of an operator error (usually pressing the wrong key for a specific type of entry) or an error when
setting a program option. When the error beep tone sounds, an "E" appears in the display and the keypad locks. An error tone
will also occur if the user tries to use a cash register function that has not been programmed yet.
To clear the "E" error, simply press the
[C]
Clear key.
NOTE: After starting a transaction, moving the Control Switch from "R1" or "R2" to another position before
completing a transaction will result in an error condition to remind you to finish and total the transaction.
Clearing an Error:
1.
Press
the
[C]
Clear key. The tone ends, the display clears and the keypad unlocks.
2. Determine what error was made.
3. Correct the error, continue with the transaction, finish the transaction or restart the program.
NOTE: The
[C]
Clear key also clears an incorrect entry from the display prior to pressing a registration key. Once an entry is
printed, the
[void]
key must be used to correct an error.
VOIDING ERRORS
Once an entry is printed on the tape, the
[C]
Clear key cannot be used to correct the transaction or entry. Use the
[void]
key to
correct an error just registered.
1. Voiding the Entry Just Completed:
If an incorrect entry has been made AND the transaction has not yet been completed (the
[amount tend/TOTAL]
key has
NOT been pressed), simply press the
[void]
key to reverse the last entry BEFORE continuing with any other entries. The
entry is reprinted with a "VD" symbol following the amount and reversed or subtracted from the transaction.
2. Voiding an Earlier Entry:
To void an earlier entry:
1. Complete and total the transaction, including the error.
2.
Press
the
[void]
key.
3. Retype the incorrect information, exactly as originally entered.
4. Total the transaction.
