Programming Department Keys
Negative Mode allows you to track the number of discounts given or the
number of times the discounts were given more closely than simply
assigning a discount amount with the
Coupon
key.
Setting Department Type
Department type can be either normal or single.
Normal item entry allows you to ring up several items before closing the
transaction with method of payment (cash, check, charge, credit, and so
on).
Single item setting for a department automatically ends the sale as a cash
sale when you press the department key. You can still add multiple
quantities, for example 5 x/time $1.00 on a department programmed for
single item sale, but the transaction ends automatically as a cash sale. This
setting is useful for cash-only transactions that should not be combined
with other sale items, such as lottery ticket sales.
Setting Age Limits
When you are setting up departments, you can specify that the cash
register prompts the clerk to validate an age requirement before the item is
rung up in that department. This helps meet legal requirements if you are
selling items that are restricted to age groups, such as alcohol or tobacco.
This reminds the clerk to check ID and prompts the clerk with the
appropriate age needed. This feature does not prevent sales to age
inappropriate customers; it simply provides a reminder to the clerk that
this is an age-controlled item.
You have 3 default options:
You can change the exact ages for Age 1 and Age 2.
