Running an Electronic Journal Reports
The Electronic Journal can hold 5,460-lines of transactions in memory.
When the cash register memory is full, no more transactions or
information can be stored in memory. Transactions already in memory
are kept in memory until the Electronic Journal record is printed in
Z-mode or the memory is manually reset.
The Electronic Journal records in the internal memory the line-by-line
details of all the transactions and items completed on the cash register and
printed on the built-in printer. This includes all sales transactions, any
reports run during the day and even using the
#/ST/NS
key for no-sale
rings to open the cash drawer.
The cash register warns you when the Electronic Journal memory is nearly
full to let you finish the current transaction. Then you can print the
Electronic Journal record to prevent any loss of information. When the
memory is completely full, the cash register warns you and no additional
transaction information can be saved.
You can print the entire Electronic Journal record on the printer in the
cash register in either the X Mode or the Z Mode.
• X-Mode: You can print the Electronic Journal record anytime during the
day. This prints what is currently in the Electronic Journal memory and
does not
reset the memory.
• Z-Mode: You can print the entire Electronic Journal record and reset the
journal memory so everything in memory is erased after printing. Only
run this report at the end of the day, after running the standard Z Report
for the end-of-the-day sales totals.
Make sure there is a lot of paper on the receipt paper roll so the Electronic
Journal reports can print completely.
You cannot download the Electronic Journal record to the PC using the
serial connection.
