Running Management Reports
Running Management Reports
The cash register maintains totals of all transaction information. This
information is saved in the memory of the cash register as long as the
register is plugged in to an electrical outlet or, if the cash register is
unplugged, the batteries are charged.
Management reports show you information about how sales are
progressing. You can run most reports as X reports or as Z reports.
• Run X reports during the day to check transactions. These reports do not
clear the transaction memory in the cash register. You can run all reports
in the X mode.
• Run Z reports at end of day, end of the week, or end of the month. These
reports CLEAR the transaction memory in the cash register and reset all
totals to zero. When you are done printing these reports, the information
only exists on the cash register tape. You can run almost all reports in the
Z mode.
To prevent someone from accidently printing these reports, you can set a
manager passcode for X reports and a manager passcode for Z reports.
After the passcode is set, these reports do not print until the passcode is
entered. For information about setting manager passcodes, see Setting X
and Manager Passcodes on page 30.
About X Reports
There are two kinds of financial reports that can be taken in the X mode:
an X1 report and an X2 report.
• Daily report (X1 report) - Commonly known as a mid-day reading. Use
this report to print periodic readings of transaction totals during the
course of the day. This report does not reset to zero.
• Periodic (X2 report) - Commonly known as a mid-week or mid-month
reading. Use this report to print periodic readings of transaction totals
during the course of several days. This report does not reset to zero.
About Z Reports
There are two types of financial reports that can be taken in the Z mode: a
Z1 report and a Z2 report.
• Daily report (Z1 report) — Commonly known as a end-of-day/daily-closeout
report. This report prints all transaction data and resets all totals to zero,
except the Running Grand Total.
