Memory Allocation
The memory allocation program determines how memory is divided to support the following features:
1. PLUs - You must allocate a minimum number of PLUs which match the number of NLU in
your ECR. Please refer to the table of step 4 on the next page for maximum number of PLU
for your model. The maximum number of PLU is based on full load memory. Please contact
your dealer for detail.
2. Clerks - You must allocate at least 1 clerk, with a maximum of 99.
NOTE: you also must allocate at least one guest check for each clerk.
3. Groups - You must allocate at least 1 group, with a maximum of 99.
4. Guest Checks - You must allocate number of Guest Check to match number of clerk.
Otherwise, you can allocate a maximum of 500 hard or soft checks. The maximum number of
Guest Checks is based on full load memory.
5. Soft Check Lines - You can allocate a maximum of 100 lines per check
6. Check Type - Select hard or soft checks.
7. Levels - Allocate one or two price levels.
8. Mix & Match Discount Tables - Default is 10 you can allocate a minimum of 0 to a maximum
of 100.
9. Electronic Journal (for ER-230 and ER-3xx only) - Default is 3000 lines; maximum is 12000
(for ER-230) and 15000 (for ER-3xx) lines.
Important Memory Allocation Notes
1. Memory variable maximums are theoretical. For example, if all other variables are at or
near zero, then you may allocate more PLUs.
NOTE: check memory, especially soft check memory, and clerk memory consume
considerable memory.
2. Using the clerk interrupt feature requires allocation of at least one guest check for each
clerk and sufficient soft check lines to support the interrupted transaction (i.e. if soft
check lines allocated is 20, a transaction with up to 20 lines can be interrupted.) See
System Option address #26 to select clerk interrupt operations instead of table
management (check tracking) operations.
