Programming Department Keys
Setting Department Type
Normal I tem E ntry allows you to ring up two or more items into a
department. For example, if you want to ring up 5 of the same items, you
can tell the cash register to multiply the one price by the number of items.
Single I tem E ntry allows you to ring up only one item in a department and
ends the sale as a cash sale as soon as the Department key is pressed.
Setting Standard, Gallonage or Negative Mode
A department can be set for Standard M ode, G allonage M ode, or Negative
M ode.
G allonage M ode allows entering a price with 3 decimal places,
representing the cost per gallon, pound, kilogram, yard, meter, or other
unit of measurement. For example, $2.899 per gallon.
T he quantity, representing the unit of measurement, can also be entered in
up to 3 decimal places. T his lets you enter 10.931 gallons of gasoline at
$2.899 a gallon.
Standard M ode enters the price using the normal 2 decimal place setting.
Negative M ode allows you to set the price to a negative number. T his is
useful when you need to assign preset discounts or coupons. Using
Negative M ode 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 High Amount Lock-out (HALO)
You can specify the largest amount that can be rung up in an entry. T his
feature helps to prevent against large over-rings. I f too many digits are
entered, the error beep sounds and the keypad locks up. Use the Arrow Up
and Arrow Down keys to select the H A L O limit you want.
Setting Age Limits
W hen 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. T his helps meet legal requirements if you are
selling items that are restricted to age groups, such as alcohol or tobacco.
T his reminds the clerk to check I D and prompts the clerk with the
appropriate age needed. T his feature does not prevent sales to age
